LocalMessageSender.SendCompleted Event

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Occurs when the message has been successfully sent.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Event SendCompleted As EventHandler(Of SendCompletedEventArgs)

public event EventHandler<SendCompletedEventArgs> SendCompleted

Remarks

You can handle this event to determine whether a message was sent successfully and to retrieve any response message. If the message was not received, the AsyncCompletedEventArgs.Error property (inherited by the SendCompletedEventArgs class) will be set to a SendFailedException instance. This can occur, for example, if the specified receiver name has not been registered or if the receiver is not configured to receive messages from the sender's domain.

For more information, see Communication Between Local Silverlight-Based Applications.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use this event. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Implement Communication Between Local Silverlight-Based Applications.
