Message.IsFirstInTransaction Property

Definition

Gets a value that indicates whether the message was the first message sent in a transaction.

public:
 property bool IsFirstInTransaction { bool get(); };
[System.Messaging.MessagingDescription("MsgIsFirstInTransaction")]
public bool IsFirstInTransaction { get; }
[<System.Messaging.MessagingDescription("MsgIsFirstInTransaction")>]
member this.IsFirstInTransaction : bool
Public ReadOnly Property IsFirstInTransaction As Boolean

Property Value

true if the message was the first message sent in a transaction; otherwise, false.

Attributes

Exceptions

The message has not been sent. This property can only be read on messages retrieved from a queue.

-or-

The message queue is filtered to ignore the IsFirstInTransaction property.

Examples

The following code example displays the value of a message's IsFirstInTransaction property.

Remarks

Receiving applications use the IsFirstInTransaction property to verify that a message was the first message sent in a single transaction to a single queue.

This property is available only with Message Queuing version 2.0 and later.

To verify transaction boundaries, you can use the IsFirstInTransaction property along with two other properties: IsLastInTransaction and TransactionId. Use the former to check whether a message was the last message sent in the transaction, and use the latter to retrieve the identifier of the transaction.

If only one message is sent in a transaction, the IsFirstInTransaction and IsLastInTransaction properties are both set to true.
