MSMQ gets and removes

Question

Is it possible to delete a message from MSMQ after reading it?

How can get + delete work like an atomic operation?

Answer 1

It looks like you want to look into the following message, and then get it after processing is complete.

Message message = Queue.Peek(); Queue.ReceiveById(message.Id); 

Answer 2

Do you mean the difference between Receive and Peek in MSMQ?

IMO - the easiest way to ensure atomic operations is to place queue operations in TransactionScope. This can be done with WCF as follows.
