    MSMQ: removing all messages issue

    Hi, I'm using MSMQ 3 under framework 2. All I want to do is retreive
    all the messages on a queue and remove them.

    If you use recieve on the queue you have to pass it a timespan which
    defines the timeout for when there are no further messages. I could
    set this to be stupidly small, but how small is safe, say if the
    network has a blockage in it's tubes?
    You can retrieve an enumerator using GetMessageEnume rator2 which has a
    removeCurrent. However, this immediately causes the enumerator to stop
    working (no real suprise) so is useless.

    The queue has a GetAllMessages method which does as it says on the
    tin, however, it doesn't remove them, and once retrieved, there's no
    handy method to go in and delete them.

    I could use a combination of GetAllMessages and then run through the
    returned array once I'd finished with them doing receiveByID. This
    would work, but what a waste.

    Any ideas?
