MessageQueue.EndPeek Method
Completes the specified asynchronous peek operation.
[Visual Basic] Public Function EndPeek( _ ByVal asyncResult As IAsyncResult _ ) As Message [C#] public Message EndPeek( IAsyncResult asyncResult ); [C++] public: Message* EndPeek( IAsyncResult* asyncResult ); [JScript] public function EndPeek( asyncResult : IAsyncResult ) : Message;
Parameters
- asyncResult
- The IAsyncResult that identifies the asynchronous peek operation to finish, and from which to retrieve an end result.
Return Value
The Message associated with the completed asynchronous operation.
Exceptions
| Exception Type | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The asyncResult parameter is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
| ArgumentException | The syntax of the asyncResult parameter is invalid. |
| MessageQueueException | An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing API. |
Remarks
When the PeekCompleted event is raised, EndPeek completes the operation that was initiated by the BeginPeek call. To do so, EndPeek peeks the message.
BeginPeek can specify a time-out, which causes the PeekCompleted event to be raised if the time-out occurs before a message appears in the queue. In this case, the IsCompleted property of the asyncResult parameter is set to true, but no message is associated with the operation. When a time-out occurs without a message arriving in the queue, a subsequent call to EndPeek throws an exception.
EndPeek is used to read the message that caused the PeekCompleted event to be raised.
If you want to continue to asynchronously peek messages, you can again call BeginPeek after calling EndPeek.

Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example creates an event handler named MyPeekCompleted, attaches it to the PeekCompleted event handler delegate, and calls BeginPeek to initiate an asynchronous peek operation on the queue that is located at the path ".\myQueue". When a PeekCompleted event is raised, the example peeks the message and writes its body to the screen. The example then calls BeginPeek again to initiate a new asynchronous peek operation.
