Azure IoT Development Cookbook

How to do it...

In this section, we will start with registering the new device, followed by some more device management operations such as: retrieve, delete, list, export, and import.

1. Create a device identity by initializing the Azure IoT Hub registry connection:

string deviceId = "myFirstDevice";registryManager = RegistryManager.CreateFromConnectionString(connectionString);   Device device = new Device();            try            {                device = await registryManager.AddDeviceAsync(new Device(deviceId));                success = true;            }            catch (DeviceAlreadyExistsException)            {                success = false;}

2. Retrieve the device identity by deviceId:

string deviceId = "myFirstDevice";Device device = new Device(); try { device = await registryManager.GetDeviceAsync(deviceId); } catch (DeviceAlreadyExistsException) ...
