.net service bus recommendations? [closed]

We are in need of a distributed architecture messaging system/service bus with the capability of Publish/Subscribe. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a framework that we can use for .net applications?

Solution 1:

NServiceBus is growing in popularity. It is open source as well. Here is a Hanselminutes episode with Scott Hanselman talking with Udi Dahan about NServiceBus to help grok it. You should definitely evaluate using it.

UPDATE: There's also a DNR TV episode which shows what it's like to build an NServiceBus solution from scratch here: http://www.dnrtv.com/default.aspx?showNum=199

Solution 2:

Check out masstransit and rhino service bus too. Both open source and written by very smart people.

Solution 3:

Check out RabbitMQ. The .NET client is full-featured, and it's pretty easy to use. There's a book called RabbitMQ in Action, as well as RabbitMQ in Depth that's available in early access editions.
