Remarks

Setting the MessagePropertyFilter on a MessageQueue instance controls the set of properties that are retrieved when peeking or receiving a message. The filter is set on the instance of MessageQueue that retrieves the message information. When you set a MessagePropertyFilter Boolean-valued member to false, you prevent the information of the associated Message property from being retrieved by the MessageQueue.

There are several filter properties that are not Boolean values. They are integer values that get or set the default sizes of the Message.Body, Message.Extension, or Message.Label.

Retrieving a limited set of properties helps improve performance because smaller amounts of data are transferred from the queue.

When setting a property on MessagePropertyFilter, you are only indicating whether that property is retrieved when a message is received or peeked. You are not changing the associated property value for the Message.

The MessagePropertyFilter constructor sets all filter properties to their default values, which for the Boolean values is false. See the constructor topic for the defaults assigned to the integer-valued properties.
