CloudQueue.BeginPeekMessage Method

Storage Client Library NET API

[This topic is part of the Microsoft Azure Storage Client Library 1.7, which has been deprecated. See Storage Client Library for the latest version.]

Begins an asynchronous operation to peek a message from the queue.

Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient (in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll)

Usage

Visual Basic
Dim instance As CloudQueue
Dim callback As AsyncCallback
Dim state As Object
Dim returnValue As IAsyncResult

returnValue = instance.BeginPeekMessage(callback, state)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function BeginPeekMessage ( _
	callback As AsyncCallback, _
	state As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
C#
public IAsyncResult BeginPeekMessage (
	AsyncCallback callback,
	Object state
)
C++
public:
IAsyncResult^ BeginPeekMessage (
	AsyncCallback^ callback, 
	Object^ state
)
J#
JScript

Parameters

callback

Type: System.AsyncCallback

The callback delegate that will receive notification when the asynchronous operation completes.

state

Type: System.Object

A user-defined object that will be passed to the callback delegate.

Return Value

Type: System.IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

When a message is retrieved from the queue using BeginPeekMessage, the message is not dequeued and the visibility of the message remains unchanged. The message remains available to other clients until a client retrieves the message with a call to BeginGetMessage. The call to BeginPeekMessage does not update the message's PopReceipt value, so the message cannot subsequently be deleted. Additionally, calling BeginPeekMessage does not update the message's NextVisibleTime or DequeueCount properties.

Only messages that are visible may be retrieved with BeginPeekMessage.
