Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the Extension property.

// Set the queue's MessageReadPropertyFilter property 
// to enable the message's Extension property.
queue->MessageReadPropertyFilter->Extension = true;

// Peek at the message. Time out after ten seconds 
// in case the message was not delivered.
orderMessage = queue->Peek(TimeSpan::FromSeconds(10.0));

// Display the value of the message's Extension property.
Console::WriteLine("Message.Extension: {0}", 
    orderMessage->Extension);
// Set the queue's MessageReadPropertyFilter property to enable the
// message's Extension property.
queue.MessageReadPropertyFilter.Extension = true;

// Peek at the message. Time out after ten seconds in case the message
// was not delivered.
orderMessage = queue.Peek(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10.0));

// Display the value of the message's Extension property.
Console.WriteLine("Message.Extension: {0}",
    orderMessage.Extension);

Remarks

The Extension property of the Message class provides for additional application-defined information that is associated with the message, like a large binary object. It is the responsibility of the receiving application to interpret the contents of the Extension.
