Syntax

HRESULT WsSendMessage(
  [in]           WS_CHANNEL                   *channel,
  [in]           WS_MESSAGE                   *message,
  [in]           const WS_MESSAGE_DESCRIPTION *messageDescription,
  [in]           WS_WRITE_OPTION              writeOption,
                 const void                   *bodyValue,
  [in]           ULONG                        bodyValueSize,
  [in, optional] const WS_ASYNC_CONTEXT       *asyncContext,
  [in, optional] WS_ERROR                     *error
);

Parameters

[in] channel

The channel to send the message on.

[in] message

The message object to use for sending.

The message object must be in WS_MESSAGE_STATE_EMPTY or WS_MESSAGE_STATE_INITIALIZED.

[in] messageDescription

The action field of the WS_MESSAGE_DESCRIPTION is used as the action header for the message. This field may be NULL if no action is required.

The bodyElementDescription field of the WS_MESSAGE_DESCRIPTION is used to serialize the body of the message. This field may be NULL if no body element is desired. See WsWriteBody for information about how the bodyElementDescription is used to serialize the value.

[in] writeOption

Whether the body element is required, and how the value is allocated. This is used only when a body element is desired. For more information, see WS_WRITE_OPTION and WsWriteBody.

bodyValue

The value to serialize in the body of the message.

[in] bodyValueSize

The size of the value being serialized, in bytes.

[in, optional] asyncContext

Information on how to invoke the function asynchronously, or NULL if invoking synchronously.

[in, optional] error

Specifies where additional error information should be stored if the function fails.
