How-To read events from an Event Hub

In order to read events from an Event Hub, you'll need to create an EventHubConsumerClient for a given consumer group. When an Event Hub is created, it provides a default consumer group that can be used to get started with exploring Event Hubs : azure-sdk-for-net/README.md at main · Azure/azure-sdk-for-net · GitHub

var connectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";

string consumerGroup = EventHubConsumerClient.DefaultConsumerGroupName;

await using (var consumer = new EventHubConsumerClient(consumerGroup, 
                                connectionString, eventHubName))
{
    using var cancellationSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
    cancellationSource.CancelAfter(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45));

    await foreach (PartitionEvent receivedEvent in 
                    consumer.ReadEventsAsync(cancellationSource.Token))
    {
        // At this point, the loop will wait for events to be available in the Event Hub.  
        // When an event
        // is available, the loop will iterate with the event that was received.  
        // Because we did not
        // specify a maximum wait time, the loop will wait forever unless cancellation 
        // is requested using the cancellation token.
    }
}
