What Azure assembly has reference to ServiceBusTriggerAttribute?

The "How to use Azure Service Bus with the WebJobs SDK" Azure Documentation article shows the usage of [ServiceBusTrigger] attribute for integrating a WebJob and Azure Service Bus Topic messages. However, using the default Azure WebJobs project template in Visual Studio 2015, the reference to ServiceBusTrigger causes the following compile time exception:

The type or namespace name 'ServiceBusTriggger' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The problem at hand is the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs package from Nuget doesn't contain the ServiceBusTriggerAttribute class.

Is there a Nuget package that can be added that will include this much needed class?

I have tried including the WindowsAzure.ServiceBus package from Nuget, but that doesn't contain it either.

Without the ServiceBusTriggerAttribute I am unable to get this WebJob connected to consume messages from an Azure Service Bus Topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You need to include the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus NuGet package as mentioned in the Prereq section of this article https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/websites-dotnet-webjobs-sdk-service-bus/#prerequisites

This answer is correct for Functions 1.x, but if you are using Functions 2.x, then you need to install Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.ServiceBus:

Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.ServiceBus

Here is the Microsoft documentation Azure Service Bus bindings for Azure Functions.

Also, make sure you reference the latest package and update any dependent packages.

The Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus package from Nuget contains the ServiceBusTriggerAttribute class.

My trouble was that I had a project of type Azure Functions v2 Preview which uses .NET standard instead of the .NET Framework.

Creating a new project of the old v1 type and importing Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus via NuGet got me on my way.

For Azure Functions v2 Preview (.NET Standard 2.0), you need to install the prerelease version of Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus:

Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus -IncludePrerelease

Or via NuGet Package Manager:
