Storage Queue Deletion

Ragavendar S

Hi ,

I have created a storage queue (Azure Web) and added some elements to the that queue, while tried to delete the particular message in the queue based on id only top element in the queue gets deleted.

public string DeleteMsgQueue(string connectionString, string queueName)

{

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);

CloudQueueClient queueClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();

CloudQueue queue = queueClient.GetQueueReference(queueName); CloudQueueMessage retrievedMessage = queue.GetMessage();

// await queue.DeleteMessageAsync(message.Id, retrievedMessage.PopReceipt);
queue.DeleteMsg(retrievedMessage);
return "Message De-Queued";

}

The DeleteMessageAsync method deletes a message on its id

read MS doc here:

@Nilesh : Thanks for the response.

How to delete the particular message in queue by providing ID of the queue.

Your code uses the delete on retrived message which is got using the GetMessage(0 method which will ofcourse give you the first message in queue.

why have you commented the line of code which deleted message on its Id?
