Definition

Namespace:

Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus

Assembly:

Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus.dll

Package:

Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus v7.17.5

Source:

ServiceBusReceiver.cs

public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus.ServiceBusReceivedMessage>> PeekMessagesAsync (int maxMessages, long? fromSequenceNumber = default, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

abstract member PeekMessagesAsync : int * Nullable<int64> * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus.ServiceBusReceivedMessage>>
override this.PeekMessagesAsync : int * Nullable<int64> * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus.ServiceBusReceivedMessage>>

Public Overridable Function PeekMessagesAsync (maxMessages As Integer, Optional fromSequenceNumber As Nullable(Of Long) = Nothing, Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As Task(Of IReadOnlyList(Of ServiceBusReceivedMessage))

Parameters

maxMessages

Int32

The maximum number of messages that will be fetched.

fromSequenceNumber

Nullable<Int64>

An optional sequence number from where to peek the message. This corresponds to the SequenceNumber.

cancellationToken

CancellationToken

An optional CancellationToken instance to signal the request to cancel the operation.

Returns

Task<IReadOnlyList<ServiceBusReceivedMessage>>

An IReadOnlyList<T> of messages that were peeked.

Remarks

Unlike a received message, a peeked message will not have a lock token associated with it, and hence it cannot be Completed/Abandoned/Deferred/Deadlettered/Renewed. Also, unlike ReceiveMessageAsync(Nullable<TimeSpan>, CancellationToken), this method will fetch even Deferred messages (but not Deadlettered messages).
