MSMQ 3.0 and multiple listeners?

[Ole Hanson]

Hi forum,

I am planning on a solution where I have a potential high volume of messages
flowing into my MSMQ 3.0.

To extract these messages and process them, I am thinking about putting up 3
different but identical services (Windows Services, C#), that should extract
the
messages and process them accordingly.

Will this pose a problem (conflicts)?
Can two services gain access to the same message, and thereby jamming the
system?

Thanks!

Ole,

There shouldn't be a problem, as long as you are retrieving the message
from the Queue, and not peeking at it (peeking doesn't remove it).

Hope this helps.
