Publish Message to IOT Hub - Eclypse Paho MQTT
Below is my code for connecting and sending data from device to cloud using Eclypse Paho MQTT Library. I am able to connect with IOT Hub as rc results 0 in my case but It doesn't send message to my IOT Hub device. Can anyone please guide me where I have made mistake or what I am doing wrong ?
I am using Visual studio 2015 with .Net framework 4.0 and eclipse-paho-mqtt-c-windows-1.0.3 libraries

Yes, It is C...

Below Code works fine In my case
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "MQTTClient.h"
#define ADDRESS "ssl://xxxxxxxxxx.azure-devices.net:8883" //tcp://localhost:1883"
#define CLIENTID "xxxxxxxxxx" //"ExampleClientPub"
#define TOPIC "devices/xxxxxxxxxx/messages/events/" //"MQTT Examples"
#define PAYLOAD "Hello World!"
#define QOS 1
#define TIMEOUT 10000L
volatile MQTTClient_deliveryToken deliveredtoken;
void delivered(void *context, MQTTClient_deliveryToken dt)
printf("Message with token value %d delivery confirmedn", dt);
deliveredtoken = dt;
int msgarrvd(void *context, char *topicName, int topicLen, MQTTClient_message *message)
int i;
char* payloadptr;
printf("Message arrivedn");
printf(" topic: %sn", topicName);
printf(" message: ");
payloadptr = (char *)message->payload;
for (i = 0; i<message->payloadlen; i++)
putchar(*payloadptr++);
putchar('n');
MQTTClient_freeMessage(&message);
MQTTClient_free(topicName);
return 1;
void connlost(void *context, char *cause)
printf("nConnection lostn");
printf(" cause: %sn", cause);
#define TEST_SSL
int main(int argc, char* argv)
MQTTClient client;
MQTTClient_connectOptions conn_opts = MQTTClient_connectOptions_initializer;
MQTTClient_message pubmsg = MQTTClient_message_initializer;
MQTTClient_deliveryToken token;
int rc;
rc = MQTTClient_create(&client, ADDRESS, CLIENTID,
1, NULL);
conn_opts.keepAliveInterval = 20;
conn_opts.cleansession = 1;
conn_opts.username = "xxxxxxxxxx.azure-devices.net/xxxxxxxxxx/api-version=2016-11-14";
conn_opts.password = "SharedAccessSignature sr=xxxxxxxxxx.azure-devices.net%2Fdevices%2Fxxxxxxxxxx&sig=undNm%2Fxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=15xxxxxx";
#ifdef TEST_SSL
MQTTClient_SSLOptions sslOptions = MQTTClient_SSLOptions_initializer;
sslOptions.enableServerCertAuth = 1;
sslOptions.trustStore = "D:/Parth/Projects/MQTT/MQTT Sample D2C Azure IOT Hub Tested Program/rootCA.crt";
conn_opts.ssl = &sslOptions;
#endif
//conn_opts.ssl->trustStore = "D:ParthProjectsMQTTpaho.mqtt.c-mastertestssltest - alt - ca.crt";
rc = MQTTClient_setCallbacks(client, NULL, connlost, msgarrvd, delivered);
if ((rc = MQTTClient_connect(client, &conn_opts)) != MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS)
printf("Failed to connect, return code %dn", rc);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
pubmsg.payload = PAYLOAD;
pubmsg.payloadlen = strlen(PAYLOAD);
pubmsg.qos = QOS;
pubmsg.retained = 0;
deliveredtoken = 0;
MQTTClient_publishMessage(client, TOPIC, &pubmsg, &token);
printf("Waiting for publication of %sn"
"on topic %s for client with ClientID: %sn",
PAYLOAD, TOPIC, CLIENTID);
while (deliveredtoken != token);
MQTTClient_disconnect(client, 10000);
MQTTClient_destroy(&client);
return rc;
Thanks for solution. It helped me in solving my issue
