  long lPrivLevel
);

plPrivLevel or lPrivLevel
Value that indicates the privacy level of the message. The following table shows the possible values.

Value	Description
MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_BODY	Privacy is enforced. 40-bit end-to-end encryption of the message body is used.
MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_BODY_BASE	(Introduced in MSMQ 2.0.) Privacy is enforced. 40-bit end-to-end encryption of the message body is used.
MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_BODY_ENHANCED	(Introduced in MSMQ 2.0.) Privacy is enforced. 128-bit end-to-end encryption of the message body is used.
MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_NONE	The default. The message is a nonprivate (clear) message.

The following table describes the common return values.

The MSMQMessage.PrivLevel is used to request encryption by Message Queuing.

The sending application can request encryption by setting the MSMQMessage.PrivLevel property to one of the following:

When one of these settings is used, the body of the message is encrypted with the algorithm specified by MSMQMessage.EncryptAlgorithm.

Note

MSMQ 2.0 and MSMQ 3.0 applications can use MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_BODY or MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_BODY_BASE to request 40-bit encryption.

Messages can also be encrypted by applications. In this case the MSMQMessage.PrivLevel property must be set as follows.

If your application is encrypting the message body with a 40-bit key, ignore the MSMQMessage.PrivLevel property when sending messages.
If your application is encrypting the message body with a 128-bit key, set MSMQMessage.PrivLevel to MQMSG_PRIV_LEVEL_BODY_ENHANCED and include it with the message.
