Remarks Message objects are used to represent all outputs from the API including
subscription data, response, administrative and status messages. Message
objects are obtained from Event.GetMessages().
A message always has a message type and may optionally contain the following
| TopicName | Valid for Subscription data messages. |
| Service | The service from which this message was received from. |
| CorrelationId | One or more correlationIds if this message was
delivered for a pending request or a subscription.
|
A Message object is a handle to a single underlying protocol message. The Message contents are represented as an Element and some convenient shortcuts are supplied to the Element accessors.
Thread SafetyStatic members of this type are safe for multi-threaded operations. Instance members of this type are safe for multi-threaded operations.
