MessageQueue.BeginPeek Method

Definition

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation by telling Message Queuing to begin peeking a message and notify the event handler when finished.

Overloads

BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Object, AsyncCallback)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out and a specified state object, which provides associated information throughout the operation's lifetime. This overload receives notification, through a callback, of the identity of the event handler for the operation. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Object)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out and a specified state object, which provides associated information throughout the operation's lifetime. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Cursor, PeekAction, Object, AsyncCallback)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out and that uses a specified cursor, a specified peek action, and a specified state object. The state object provides associated information throughout the lifetime of the operation. This overload receives notification, through a callback, of the identity of the event handler for the operation. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

BeginPeek()

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has no time-out. The operation is not complete until a message becomes available in the queue.

BeginPeek(TimeSpan)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Object, AsyncCallback)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out and a specified state object, which provides associated information throughout the operation's lifetime. This overload receives notification, through a callback, of the identity of the event handler for the operation. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

 IAsyncResult ^ BeginPeek(TimeSpan timeout, System::Object ^ stateObject, AsyncCallback ^ callback);
public IAsyncResult BeginPeek (TimeSpan timeout, object stateObject, AsyncCallback callback);
member this.BeginPeek : TimeSpan * obj * AsyncCallback -> IAsyncResult
Public Function BeginPeek (timeout As TimeSpan, stateObject As Object, callback As AsyncCallback) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

timeout
TimeSpan

A TimeSpan that indicates the interval of time to wait for a message to become available.

stateObject
Object

A state object, specified by the application, that contains information associated with the asynchronous operation.

callback
AsyncCallback

The AsyncCallback that will receive the notification of the asynchronous operation completion.

Returns

The IAsyncResult that identifies the posted asynchronous request.

Exceptions

The value specified for the timeout parameter is not valid.

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Examples

The following code example creates an asynchronous peek operation. The code example sends a message to a local message queue, then calls BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Object, AsyncCallback), passing in: a time-out value of ten seconds; a unique integer that identifies that particular message; and a new instance of AsyncCallback that identifies the event handler, MyPeekCompleted. When a PeekCompleted event is raised, the event handler peeks at the message and writes the message body and the integer message identifier to the screen.

        msg = queue.Receive(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10.0));
    }
}

Remarks

When you use this overload, the callback specified in the callback parameter is invoked directly when a message becomes available in the queue or when the specified interval of time has expired; the PeekCompleted event is not raised. The other overloads of BeginPeek rely on this component to raise the PeekCompleted event.

PeekCompleted is also raised if a message already exists in the queue.

The BeginPeek method returns immediately, but the asynchronous operation is not completed until the event handler is called.

Because BeginPeek is asynchronous, you can call it to peek the queue without blocking the current thread of execution. To synchronously peek the queue, use the Peek method.

Once an asynchronous operation completes, you can call BeginPeek or BeginReceive again in the event handler to keep receiving notifications.

BeginPeek returns a IAsyncResult that identifies the asynchronous operation that the method started. You can use this IAsyncResult throughout the lifetime of the operation, although you generally do not use it until EndPeek(IAsyncResult) is called. However, if you start several asynchronous operations, you can place their IAsyncResult values in an array and specify whether to wait for all operations or any operation to complete. In this case, you use the AsyncWaitHandle property of the IAsyncResult to identify the completed operation.

The state object associates state information with the operation. For example, if you call BeginPeek multiple times to initiate multiple operations, you can identify each operation through a separate state object that you define.

The following table shows whether this method is available in various Workgroup modes.

BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Object)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out and a specified state object, which provides associated information throughout the operation's lifetime. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

Public Function BeginPeek (timeout As TimeSpan, stateObject As Object) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

timeout
TimeSpan

A TimeSpan that indicates the interval of time to wait for a message to become available.

stateObject
Object

A state object, specified by the application, that contains information associated with the asynchronous operation.

Returns

The IAsyncResult that identifies the posted asynchronous request.

Exceptions

The value specified for the timeout parameter is not valid.

Examples

The following code example creates an asynchronous peek operation, using the queue path ".\myQueue". It creates an event handler, MyPeekCompleted, and attaches it to the PeekCompleted event handler delegate. BeginPeek is called, with a time-out of one minute. Each call to BeginPeek has a unique associated integer that identifies that particular operation. When a PeekCompleted event is raised or the time-out expired, the message, if one exists, is retrieved and its body and the operation-specific integer identifier are written to the screen. Then BeginPeek is called again to initiate a new asynchronous peek operation with the same time-out and the associated integer of the just completed operation.

Remarks

In asynchronous processing, you use BeginPeek to raise the PeekCompleted event when a message becomes available in the queue or when the specified interval of time has expired.

PeekCompleted is also raised if a message already exists in the queue.

Use this overload to associate information with the operation that will be preserved throughout the operation's lifetime. The event handler can access this information by looking at the AsyncState property of the IAsyncResult that is associated with the operation.

To use BeginPeek, create an event handler that processes the results of the asynchronous operation, and associate it with your event delegate. BeginPeek initiates an asynchronous peek operation; the MessageQueue is notified, through the raising of the PeekCompleted event, when a message arrives in the queue. The MessageQueue can then access the message by calling EndPeek(IAsyncResult) or by retrieving the result using the PeekCompletedEventArgs.

The BeginPeek method returns immediately, but the asynchronous operation is not completed until the event handler is called.

Because BeginPeek is asynchronous, you can call it to peek the queue without blocking the current thread of execution. To synchronously peek the queue, use the Peek method.

Once an asynchronous operation completes, you can call BeginPeek or BeginReceive again in the event handler to keep receiving notifications.

BeginPeek returns a IAsyncResult that identifies the asynchronous operation that the method started. You can use this IAsyncResult throughout the lifetime of the operation, although you generally do not use it until EndPeek(IAsyncResult) is called. However, if you start several asynchronous operations, you can place their IAsyncResult values in an array and specify whether to wait for all operations or any operation to complete. In this case, you use the AsyncWaitHandle property of the IAsyncResult to identify the completed operation.

This overload specifies a time-out and a state object. If the interval specified by the timeout parameter expires, this component raises the PeekCompleted event. Because no message exists, a subsequent call to EndPeek(IAsyncResult) will throw an exception.

The state object associates state information with the operation. For example, if you call BeginPeek multiple times to initiate multiple operations, you can identify each operation through a separate state object that you define. For an illustration of this scenario, see the Example section.

You can also use the state object to pass information across process threads. If a thread is started but the callback is on a different thread in an asynchronous scenario, the state object is marshaled and passed back along with information from the event.

If CanRead is false, the completion event is raised, but an exception will be thrown when calling EndPeek(IAsyncResult).

BeginPeek(TimeSpan, Cursor, PeekAction, Object, AsyncCallback)

Initiates an asynchronous peek operation that has a specified time-out and that uses a specified cursor, a specified peek action, and a specified state object. The state object provides associated information throughout the lifetime of the operation. This overload receives notification, through a callback, of the identity of the event handler for the operation. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the queue or the time-out occurs.

Public Function BeginPeek (timeout As TimeSpan, cursor As Cursor, action As PeekAction, state As Object, callback As AsyncCallback) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

timeout
TimeSpan

A TimeSpan that indicates the interval of time to wait for a message to become available.

cursor
Cursor

A Cursor that maintains a specific position in the message queue.

action
PeekAction

One of the PeekAction values. Indicates whether to peek at the current message in the queue, or the next message.

state
Object

A state object, specified by the application, that contains information associated with the asynchronous operation.

callback
AsyncCallback

The AsyncCallback that receives the notification of the asynchronous operation completion.

Returns

The IAsyncResult that identifies the posted asynchronous request.

Exceptions

A value other than PeekAction.Current or PeekAction.Next was specified for the action parameter.

The cursor parameter is null.

The value specified for the timeout parameter is not valid.

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Remarks

When you use this overload, the callback specified in the callback parameter is invoked directly when a message becomes available in the queue or when the specified interval of time has expired. The PeekCompleted event is not raised. The other overloads of BeginPeek rely on this component to raise the PeekCompleted event.

PeekCompleted is also raised if a message already exists in the queue.

The BeginPeek method returns immediately, but the asynchronous operation is not completed until the event handler is called.

Remarks

In asynchronous processing, you use BeginPeek to raise the PeekCompleted event when a message becomes available in the queue.

PeekCompleted is also raised if a message already exists in the queue.

To use BeginPeek, create an event handler that processes the results of the asynchronous operation, and associate it with your event delegate. BeginPeek initiates an asynchronous peek operation; the MessageQueue is notified, through the raising of the PeekCompleted event, when a message arrives in the queue. The MessageQueue can then access the message by calling EndPeek(IAsyncResult) or by retrieving the result using the PeekCompletedEventArgs.

The BeginPeek method returns immediately, but the asynchronous operation is not completed until the event handler is called.

Because BeginPeek is asynchronous, you can call it to peek the queue without blocking the current thread of execution. To synchronously peek the queue, use the Peek method.

Once an asynchronous operation completes, you can call BeginPeek or BeginReceive again in the event handler to keep receiving notifications.

The IAsyncResult that BeginPeek returns identifies the asynchronous operation that the method started. You can use this IAsyncResult throughout the lifetime of the operation, although you generally do not use it until EndPeek(IAsyncResult) is called. However, if you start several asynchronous operations, you can place their IAsyncResult values in an array and specify whether to wait for all operations or any operation to complete. In this case, you use the AsyncWaitHandle property of the IAsyncResult to identify the completed operation.

If CanRead is false, the completion event is raised, but an exception will be thrown when calling EndPeek(IAsyncResult).

Examples

The following code example creates an asynchronous peek operation, using the queue path ".\myQueue". It creates an event handler, MyPeekCompleted, and attaches it to the PeekCompleted event handler delegate. BeginPeek is called with a time-out of one minute, to initiate the asynchronous peek operation. When a PeekCompleted event is raised or the time-out expires, the message is retrieved if one exists, and its body is written to the screen. Then BeginPeek is called again to initiate a new asynchronous peek operation with the same time-out.

Remarks

In asynchronous processing, you use BeginPeek to raise the PeekCompleted event when a message becomes available in the queue or when the specified interval of time has expired.

PeekCompleted is also raised if a message already exists in the queue.

To use BeginPeek, create an event handler that processes the results of the asynchronous operation, and associate it with your event delegate. BeginPeek initiates an asynchronous peek operation; the MessageQueue is notified, through the raising of the PeekCompleted event, when a message arrives in the queue. The MessageQueue can then access the message by calling EndPeek(IAsyncResult) or by retrieving the result using the PeekCompletedEventArgs.

The BeginPeek method returns immediately, but the asynchronous operation is not completed until the event handler is called.

Because BeginPeek is asynchronous, you can call it to peek the queue without blocking the current thread of execution. To synchronously peek the queue, use the Peek method.

Once an asynchronous operation completes, you can call BeginPeek or BeginReceive again in the event handler to keep receiving notifications.

The IAsyncResult that BeginPeek returns identifies the asynchronous operation that the method started. You can use this IAsyncResult throughout the lifetime of the operation, although you generally do not use it until EndPeek(IAsyncResult) is called. However, if you start several asynchronous operations, you can place their IAsyncResult values in an array and specify whether to wait for all operations or any operation to complete. In this case, you use the AsyncWaitHandle property of the IAsyncResult to identify the completed operation.

This overload specifies a time-out. If the interval specified by the timeout parameter expires, this component raises the PeekCompleted event. Because no message exists, a subsequent call to EndPeek(IAsyncResult) will throw an exception.

If CanRead is false, the completion event is raised, but an exception will be thrown when calling EndPeek(IAsyncResult).
