There are significant differences. The .NET client thread model is
explained in section 2.9 and 2.10 of the user guide. (linked from
http://www.rabbitmq.com/clients.html). While the Java client allows
blocking AMQP methods to be invoked from consumer callbacks, the .NET
client does not. We plan to improve the .NET client to work more like
the Java client in this respect.
