Remarks

The GetMessage method is used to retrieve a message from the server and copy it into a local buffer. This method will cause the current thread to block until the message transfer completes, a timeout occurs or the transfer is canceled. During the transfer, the OnProgress event will fire periodically, enabling the application to update any user interface objects such as a progress bar.
