  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Messaging
Assembly:
System.Messaging.dll

Receives the first message in the queue, removing it from the queue.

Overloads

Receive()

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and blocks the current thread of execution until a message is available.
Receive(MessageQueueTransaction)

Receives the first message available in the transactional queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and blocks the current thread of execution until a message is available.
Receive(MessageQueueTransactionType)

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and blocks the current thread of execution until a message is available.
Receive(TimeSpan)

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue and waits until either a message is available in the queue, or the time-out expires.
Receive(TimeSpan, Cursor)

Receives the current message in the queue, using a specified cursor. If no message is available, this method waits until either a message is available, or the time-out expires.
Receive(TimeSpan, MessageQueueTransaction)

Receives the first message available in the transactional queue referenced by the MessageQueue and waits until either a message is available in the queue, or the time-out expires.
Receive(TimeSpan, MessageQueueTransactionType)

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and waits until either a message is available in the queue, or the time-out expires.
Receive(TimeSpan, Cursor, MessageQueueTransaction)

Receives the current message in the queue, using a specified cursor. If no message is available, this method waits until either a message is available, or the time-out expires.
Receive(TimeSpan, Cursor, MessageQueueTransactionType)

Receives the current message in the queue, using a specified cursor. If no message is available, this method waits until either a message is available, or the time-out expires.

Receive()

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and blocks the current thread of execution until a message is available.

public:
 System::Messaging::Message ^ Receive();
public System.Messaging.Message Receive ();
member this.Receive : unit -> System.Messaging.Message
Public Function Receive () As Message

Returns

Message

A Message that references the first message available in the queue.

Exceptions

MessageQueueException

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Remarks

Use this overload to receive a message from a queue, or wait until there are messages in the queue.

The Receive method allows for the synchronous reading of a message, thereby removing it from the queue. Subsequent calls to Receive will return the messages that follow in the queue, or new, higher priority messages.

To read the first message in a queue without removing it from the queue, use the Peek method. The Peek method always returns the first message in the queue, so subsequent calls to the method return the same message unless a higher priority message arrives in the queue.

Use a call to Receive when it is acceptable for the current thread to be blocked while it waits for a message to arrive in the queue. Because this overload of the Receive method specifies an infinite time-out, the application might wait indefinitely. If the application processing should continue without waiting for the message, consider using the asynchronous method, BeginReceive.

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

Workgroup mode Available
Local computer Yes
Local computer and direct format name Yes
Remote computer No
Remote computer and direct format name Yes

 System::Messaging::Message ^ Receive(System::Messaging::MessageQueueTransaction ^ transaction);
public System.Messaging.Message Receive (System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransaction transaction);
member this.Receive : System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransaction -> System.Messaging.Message
Public Function Receive (transaction As MessageQueueTransaction) As Message

Parameters

transaction
MessageQueueTransaction

The MessageQueueTransaction object.

Returns

Message

A Message that references the first message available in the queue.

Exceptions

MessageQueueException

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

-or-

The queue is non-transactional.

Examples

The following code example connects to a transactional queue on the local computer and sends a message to the queue. It then receives the message that contains an order. If it encounters a non-transactional queue, it will throw and exception and rollback the transaction.

Remarks

Use this overload to receive a message from a transactional queue using the internal transaction context defined by the transaction parameter, or wait until there are messages in the queue.

The Receive method allows for the synchronous reading of a message, thereby removing it from the queue. Subsequent calls to Receive will return the messages that follow in the queue.

Because this method is called on a transactional queue, the message that is received would be returned to the queue if the transaction is aborted. The message is not permanently removed from the queue until the transaction is committed.

To read the first message in a queue without removing it from the queue, use the Peek method. The Peek method always returns the first message in the queue, so subsequent calls to the method return the same message unless a higher priority message arrives in the queue. There is no transaction context associated with a message returned by a call to Peek. Because Peek does not remove any messages in the queue, there would be nothing to roll back by a call to Abort.

Use a call to Receive when it is acceptable for the current thread to be blocked while it waits for a message to arrive in the queue. Because this overload of the Receive method specifies an infinite time-out, the application might wait indefinitely. If the application processing should continue without waiting for the message, consider using the asynchronous method, BeginReceive.

Receive(MessageQueueTransactionType)

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and blocks the current thread of execution until a message is available.

public:
 System::Messaging::Message ^ Receive(System::Messaging::MessageQueueTransactionType transactionType);
public System.Messaging.Message Receive (System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransactionType transactionType);
member this.Receive : System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransactionType -> System.Messaging.Message
Public Function Receive (transactionType As MessageQueueTransactionType) As Message

Parameters

transactionType
MessageQueueTransactionType

One of the MessageQueueTransactionType values, describing the type of transaction context to associate with the message.

Returns

Message

A Message that references the first message available in the queue.

Exceptions

MessageQueueException

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

InvalidEnumArgumentException

The transactionType parameter is not one of the MessageQueueTransactionType members.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of Receive(MessageQueueTransactionType).


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue^ queue = gcnew MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message^ msg = gcnew Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue->Send(msg, MessageQueueTransactionType::Single);

System::Threading::Thread::Sleep(TimeSpan::FromSeconds(10.0));

// Set the formatter to indicate the message body contains a String.
queue->Formatter = gcnew XmlMessageFormatter(
    gcnew array<Type^>{String::typeid});

// Receive the message from the queue.  Because the Id of the message
// , it might not be the message just sent.
msg = queue->Receive(MessageQueueTransactionType::Single);

queue->Close();


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message msg = new Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue.Send(msg, MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

// Simulate doing other work so the message has time to arrive.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10.0));

// Set the formatter to indicate the message body contains a String.
queue.Formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[]
    {typeof(String)});

// Receive the message from the queue.  Because the Id of the message
// , it might not be the message just sent.
msg = queue.Receive(MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

Remarks

Use this overload to receive a message from a queue using a transaction context defined by the transactionType parameter, or wait until there are messages in the queue.

Specify Automatic for the transactionType parameter if there is already an external transaction context attached to the thread that you want to use to receive the message. Specify Single if you want to receive the message as a single internal transaction. You can specify None if you want to receive a message from a transactional queue outside of a transaction context.

The Receive method allows for the synchronous reading of a message, thereby removing it from the queue. Subsequent calls to Receive will return the messages that follow in the queue.

If this method is called to receive a message from a transactional queue, the message that is received would be returned to the queue if the transaction is aborted. The message is not permanently removed from the queue until the transaction is committed.

To read the first message in a queue without removing it from the queue, use the Peek method.

Remarks

Use this overload to receive a message and return in a specified period of time if there are no messages in the queue.

The Receive method allows for the synchronous reading of a message, removing it from the queue. Subsequent calls to Receive will return the messages that follow in the queue, or new, higher priority messages.

To read the first message in a queue without removing it from the queue, use the Peek method. The Peek method always returns the first message in the queue, so subsequent calls to the method return the same message unless a higher priority message arrives in the queue.

Use a call to Receive when it is acceptable for the current thread to be blocked while it waits for a message to arrive in the queue. The thread will be blocked for the given period of time, or indefinitely if you specified the value InfiniteTimeout for the timeout parameter. If the application processing should continue without waiting for a message, consider using the asynchronous method, BeginReceive.

Remarks

Use this overload to receive a message from a transactional queue using the internal transaction context defined by the transaction parameter, and return within a specified period of time if there are no messages in the queue.

The Receive method allows for the synchronous reading of a message, thereby removing it from the queue. Subsequent calls to Receive will return the messages that follow in the queue.

Because this method is called on a transactional queue, the message that is received would be returned to the queue if the transaction is aborted. The message is not permanently removed from the queue until the transaction is committed.

To read the first message in a queue without removing it from the queue, use the Peek method. The Peek method always returns the first message in the queue, so subsequent calls to the method return the same message unless a higher priority message arrives in the queue. There is no transaction context associated with a message returned by a call to Peek. Because Peek does not remove any messages in the queue, there would be nothing to roll back by a call to Abort.

Use a call to Receive when it is acceptable for the current thread to be blocked while it waits for a message to arrive in the queue. The thread will be blocked for the given period of time, or indefinitely if you specified the value InfiniteTimeout for the timeout parameter. If the application processing should continue without waiting for a message, consider using the asynchronous method, BeginReceive.

Receive(TimeSpan, MessageQueueTransactionType)

Receives the first message available in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. This call is synchronous, and waits until either a message is available in the queue, or the time-out expires.

public:
 System::Messaging::Message ^ Receive(TimeSpan timeout, System::Messaging::MessageQueueTransactionType transactionType);
public System.Messaging.Message Receive (TimeSpan timeout, System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransactionType transactionType);
member this.Receive : TimeSpan * System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransactionType -> System.Messaging.Message
Public Function Receive (timeout As TimeSpan, transactionType As MessageQueueTransactionType) As Message

Parameters

timeout
TimeSpan

A TimeSpan that indicates the time to wait until a new message is available for inspection.

transactionType
MessageQueueTransactionType

One of the MessageQueueTransactionType values, describing the type of transaction context to associate with the message.

Returns

Message

A Message that references the first message available in the queue.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The value specified for the timeout parameter is not valid, possibly timeout is less than Zero or greater than InfiniteTimeout.

InvalidEnumArgumentException

The transactionType parameter is not one of the MessageQueueTransactionType members.

MessageQueueException

A message did not arrive in the queue before the time-out expired.

-or-

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of this method.


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue^ queue = gcnew MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message^ msg = gcnew Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue->Send(msg, MessageQueueTransactionType::Single);

// Set the formatter to indicate the message body contains a String.
queue->Formatter = gcnew XmlMessageFormatter(
    gcnew array<Type^>{String::typeid});

// Receive the message from the queue. Because the Id of the message
// is not specified, it might not be the message just sent.
msg = queue->Receive(TimeSpan::FromSeconds(10.0),
    MessageQueueTransactionType::Single);

queue->Close();


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message msg = new Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue.Send(msg, MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

// Set the formatter to indicate the message body contains a String.
queue.Formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[]
    {typeof(String)});

// Receive the message from the queue. Because the Id of the message
// is not specified, it might not be the message just sent.
msg = queue.Receive(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10.0),
    MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

Remarks

Use this overload to receive a message from a queue using a transaction context defined by the transactionType parameter, and return in a specified period of time if there are no messages in the queue.

Specify Automatic for the transactionType parameter if there is already an external transaction context attached to the thread that you want to use to receive the message. Specify Single if you want to receive the message as a single internal transaction. You can specify None if you want to receive a message from a transactional queue outside of a transaction context.
