MessageQueue::PeekByCorrelationId Method (String^)

 

Peeks the message that matches the given correlation identifier and immediately raises an exception if no message with the specified correlation identifier currently exists in the queue.

Namespace:   System.Messaging
Assembly:  System.Messaging (in System.Messaging.dll)

public:
Message^ PeekByCorrelationId(
	String^ correlationId
)

Parameters

correlationId
Type: System::String^

The CorrelationId of the message to peek.

Return Value

Type: System.Messaging::Message^

The Message whose CorrelationId matches the correlationId parameter passed in.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The correlationId parameter is null.

InvalidOperationException

The message with the specified correlationId could not be found.

MessageQueueException

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

This method looks in the queue referenced by the MessageQueue for a message whose CorrelationId matches the specified correlationId parameter. If no message is found that matches the correlationID parameter, an exception is thrown.

The CorrelationId property is used to tie a message sent to the queue to associated response, report, or acknowledgment messages.

Two other methods allow you to peek messages in a queue. The Peek method returns the first message in the queue, and the PeekById(String^) method is used to retrieve a message by specifying its unique identifier.

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

The following code example sends and receives a message that contains an order to and from a queue. It specifically requests a positive acknowledgment when the original message reaches or is retrieved from the queue.
