The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request when trying execute AddMessageAsync()

Question

I am facing a problem with Azure Web job while trying to insert a message in Webjob from another project. Not much help found in github issues. confused about what is wrong. my code is as follows:

var queueClient = _storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();
        var queue = queueClient.GetQueueReference("SendReminderEmail");
        var aClassObject = new AModel()
        {
            ObjectName1 = p1,
            ObjectName2 = p2
        };
        var message= new CloudQueueMessage(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(aClassObject ));
        **await queue.AddMessageAsync(message);** error triggers here

json output of message:

{"stringKey":"value1","intKey":intValue}

this is how queue object looks like:

this is the stack trace i am having:

Can you edit your question and include the output of JsonConvert.SerializeObject(aClassObject )? — Gaurav Mantri
Looking at the stack trace, I believe you're getting the error in this line of code queue.CreateIfNotExists();. Please add the following information as well when editing the question: 1) Actual name of the queue. 2) Storage account type and redundancy level. — Gaurav Mantri
yes, you are right, that's why removed that. should i use CreateIfNotExists(). because in my azure explorer, i can see it is created. — Md. Tazbir Ur Rahman Bhuiyan
Your queue name is invalid. It should be all lowercase. Can you please try with that? — Gaurav Mantri

Essentially the issue is with the name of queue you're using (SendReminderEmail). It should be all lowercase (sendreminderemail). For a complete list of naming rules for a queue, please see this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/naming-queues-and-metadata.

Furthermore, may I recommend that you store the messages by converting them to a base64 encoded string. The reason I say this is because the message body should be XML safe. Just in case your message body contains invalid characters like <, >, & etc. your message will not be added to the queue.
