Retiring of the WindowsAzure.ServiceBus nuget package by 30 September 2026 (SignalR)

Kajus K 20

We use WindowsAzure.ServiceBus and Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR (including Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus) nuget packages in our .NET Framework projects.

We have no clear path as to how we're supposed to migrate this. Specifically, since GlobalHost.DependencyResolver seems to only have support for WindowsAzure.ServiceBus.

We'd appreciate guidance or any references that can help us take necessary actions.

@Kajus K Thanks for reaching out. Migration to new SDK involves completely rewriting code for the most part and migration guide provides code snippets for the most common scenarios. please refer: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/main/sdk/servicebus/Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus/MigrationGuide_WindowsAzureServiceBus.md

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus

do let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.

@JananiRamesh-MSFT Thanks for the quick reply! Thing is, I've already went over that migration guide and I can't seem to find the concrete scenario which would be the analogical case for dealing with the dependency resolver and using the service bus, which as I have already mentioned only has support for WindowsAzure.ServiceBus.

One thing to note, both Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus3 and Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus are used by WindowsAzure.ServiceBus, which means installing them also installs the deprecated package of which we are trying to get rid of.

I'm not sure if an alternative exists as to how SignalR could be used to scale out for a .net framework project in that case.

the newest documentation concerning that I found was here, which uses the deprecated package.

I guess to make this discussion shorter is Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus3 going to be supported for Azure.Messaging.Servicebus?

@Kajus K Thanks for reaching out. You’ve got the dependency chain reversed.

Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus and Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus3 packages depend on WindowsAzure.ServiceBus, and not the other way around.

In this case, you would need to wait for the owners of the Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus and Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus3 packages to release updated versions that support Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus
