.NET/C# AMQP client library and WCF binding
The RabbitMQ .NET client is an implementation of an AMQP client library for C# (and, implicitly, other .NET languages), and a binding exposing AMQP services via Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Please see the specification page for more information on AMQP interoperation and standards-conformance.
The library is open-source, and is dual-licensed under the Apache License v2 and the Mozilla Public License v1.1.
In order to compile or run the RabbitMQ .NET/C# client library, you will need an appropriate .NET SDK or runtime environment available, respectively.
Version
The current release of the RabbitMQ .NET/C# AMQP library is 2.7.1. Consult the archive if you want to download a version of the RabbitMQ .NET/C# Client library or documentation other than the above.
