Wouldn't the easiest thing to do would be to catch the exception, sleep for a set amount of time say 10 seconds then try again if it fails again then increase the sleep amout, say double, then keep trying while doubling the sleep time. What you may want is a threshold which the sleep time doesn't increase over, or a maximum number of times it can fail before it gives up, logs an error and the message (so that it can be resent later), in case there is a big problem like the computer the queue is on is down, the msmq service is stopped, etc. Chris =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŪ http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: NEW!
