title: Example of .net application using Amazon SQS
body: <p>I am looking for a sample .Net application that continuously checks Amazon SQS for new messages and when one is found, perform an action and remove it from the queue. </p>
  
  <p>My goal is to have an app running on EC2 that watches my SQS queue for new messages. When one is found, a call will be made to one of several web based APIs and the message will be deleted from the queue. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone point me to an example of something similar ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit</strong>
  Would this type of application best be created as a windows service?</p>
