Need general understanding of msmq

[deostroll]

Hi,
Hi,

I haven't worked with msmq before. Just have some very basic questions about the product.

(a) Generally what happens to a message in the queue once a client receives it? - is it deleted from the queue, or, does it still persist? Is this aspect configurable?

(b) Does msmq guarantee that a message is received by one client only in case there are several clients trying to consume from the same queue.

Regards,
Arun

I have never worked with MSMQ but if MSMQ is like other message queue
systems then it depends on the mode.

send-receive: exactly one receiver get the message

publish-subscribe: zero to many subscribers get the message
