Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property MulticastRecipientLimit As Integer

public int MulticastRecipientLimit { get; set; }

public:
property int MulticastRecipientLimit {
    int get ();
    void set (int value);
}

/** @property */
public int get_MulticastRecipientLimit ()

/** @property */
public void set_MulticastRecipientLimit (int value)

public function get MulticastRecipientLimit () : int

public function set MulticastRecipientLimit (value : int)

Property Value

An Int32 value that specifies the maximum number of recipients for a multicast message.

Remarks

This property is optional, and has a default value of 100.

Notification Services generates multiple messages if necessary so that all recipients receive a notification. For example, if 45 people should receive the notification, and the MulticastRecipientLimit value is 10, Notification Services generates five messages, with each being sent to a subset of the recipient list.

Example

The following examples show how to define execution settings for a delivery protocol:

smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeEventLog = 2;
smtpProtocol.FailureEventLogInterval = new TimeSpan(0, 10, 0);
smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeAbort = 10;
smtpProtocol.MulticastRecipientLimit = 50;
smtpProtocol.WorkItemTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 20, 0);

smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeEventLog = 2
smtpProtocol.FailureEventLogInterval = New TimeSpan(0, 10, 0)
smtpProtocol.FailuresBeforeAbort = 10
smtpProtocol.MulticastRecipientLimit = 50
smtpProtocol.WorkItemTimeout = New TimeSpan(0, 20, 0)
