MessageQueue.PeekCompleted Event

Definition

Occurs when a message is read without being removed from the queue. This is a result of the asynchronous operation, BeginPeek().

public:
 event System::Messaging::PeekCompletedEventHandler ^ PeekCompleted;
[System.Messaging.MessagingDescription("MQ_PeekCompleted")]
public event System.Messaging.PeekCompletedEventHandler PeekCompleted;
[<System.Messaging.MessagingDescription("MQ_PeekCompleted")>]
member this.PeekCompleted : System.Messaging.PeekCompletedEventHandler 
Public Custom Event PeekCompleted As PeekCompletedEventHandler

Examples

The following code 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

Remarks

BeginPeek is used in asynchronous processing to raise the PeekCompleted event when a message is available in the queue.

EndPeek(IAsyncResult) is used to complete the operation initiated by a call to BeginPeek and peek the message when the PeekCompleted event is raised.

When you create a PeekCompletedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.
