I'm having a problem changing the priority of an message which is submitted to a defined MSMQ. Whenever I set the Message priority it never seems to affect the priority of the message within the queue Here is a snipet of what I am doing:
static public void QueueBatchItem(MessageQueue mq, MessageQueueTransaction msgTx, MessagePriority msgPriority)
{
using (System.Messaging.Message mm = new System.Messaging.Message())
{
string messageLabel = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
System.Messaging.XmlMessageFormatter formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter();
RunSimulationRequestDTO dto = new RunSimulationRequestDTO();
dto.RetryCount = 0;
dto.BatchHeaderID = batchID;
dto.MSMQLabel = messageLabel;
mq.MessageReadPropertyFilter.Priority = true;
mm.Priority = msgPriority;
mm.Body = dto;
mm.Label = messageLabel;
mm.Formatter = formatter;
mq.Send(mm, msgTx);
}
}
If I debug thru the code the default priority is 'Normal' and when an item is sent to the queue the priority shows up as 0 with 'Queue messages'. I can pass over the priority as MessagePriority.High or any of the 8 possible values and it never changes what the priority is.
What am I missing in this... the few examples that I've seen have all shown things has basic as
Message mm = new Message();
mm.Priority = MessagePriority.High;
I've even tried just little test apps outside of my main code with the MSDN examples and the priority number never changes.
thanks.
edit: I made sure that the priority I was seeing was not coming from the thread by setting it to AboveNormal
<ThreadManagersConfiguration DefaultSleepBetweenPolls="5000" DefaultMsmqServer=".">
<ThreadManagers>
<add DisplayName="BatchSimulationManager"
RequestMSMQ=".\Private$\BatchSimulationRequest"
ResponseMSMQ=""
FailedMSMQ=".\Private$\BatchSimulationFailure"
Priority="AboveNormal"
TransactionalMode="RollbackTransaction"
MaxThreads="16"
SleepTimeBetweenPolling="10000"
ProcessModel="BATCH"/>
</ThreadManagers>
</ThreadManagersConfiguration>
Easy one, this:
“Why do transactional messages all have the same priority?”
