How do you delete the dead letters in an Azure Service Bus queue?

Question

How do you delete the dead letters in an Azure Service Bus queue?

I can process the messages in the queue ...

var queueClient = QueueClient.CreateFromConnectionString(sbConnectionString, queueName);
while (queueClient.Peek() != null)
{
    var brokeredMessage = queueClient.Receive();
    brokeredMessage.Complete();
}

but can't see anyway to handle the dead letter messages

The trick is to get the deadletter path for the queue which you can get by using QueueClient.FormatDeadLetterPath(queueName).

Please try the following:

var queueClient = QueueClient.CreateFromConnectionString(sbConnectionString, QueueClient.FormatDeadLetterPath(queueName));
while (queueClient.Peek() != null)
{
    var brokeredMessage = queueClient.Receive();
    brokeredMessage.Complete();
}
