    /// Azure Queue Service Sample - The Queue Service provides reliable messaging for workflow processing and for communication 
    /// between loosely coupled components of cloud services. This sample demonstrates how to perform common tasks including  
    /// inserting, peeking, getting and deleting queue messages, as well as creating and deleting queues.     
    /// 
    /// Note: This sample uses the .NET 4.5 asynchronous programming model to demonstrate how to call the Storage Service using the 
    /// storage client libraries asynchronous API's. When used in real applications this approach enables you to improve the 
    /// responsiveness of your application. Calls to the storage service are prefixed by the await keyword.

        // Instructions: This sample can be run using either the Azure Storage Emulator that installs as part of this SDK - or by
        // updating the App.Config file with your AccountName and Key. 
        // 
        // To run the sample using the Storage Emulator (default option)
        //      1. Start the Azure Storage Emulator (once only) by pressing the Start button or the Windows key and searching for it
        //         by typing "Azure Storage Emulator". Select it from the list of applications to start it.
        //      2. Set breakpoints and run the project using F10. 
        // 
        // To run the sample using the Storage Service
        //      1. Open the app.config file and comment out the connection string for the emulator (UseDevelopmentStorage=True) and
        //         uncomment the connection string for the storage service (AccountName=[]...)
        //      2. Create a Storage Account through the Azure Portal and provide your [AccountName] and [AccountKey] in 
        //         the App.Config file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=325277 for more information
        //      3. Set breakpoints and run the project using F10.
