Purple Explorer no longer seems to be active, nor maintained.
Last commit was 3 years ago; it uses Avalonia version 0.10, whereas the newest is v11; it uses a deprecated version of the ServiceBus library.

I have forked the project and have made both UI and fundamental improvements to it. Among them:

  • Enhanced UI:
    • resizable panels and grids;
    • filtering for the tree view;
    • improved message details window with DLQ reason display and application properties;
  • Improved connection management and user experience (taller connection box, alerts for existing connections, etc.).
  • Upgraded to .NET 8 for better performance and latest features.
  • Upgraded to latest Avalonia (v11) for improved UI framework capabilities.
  • Migrated to Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus for the latest Azure SDK.

With your permission, this PR repoints the Purple Explorer link at the end of the README to this maintained fork.
