[rabbitmq-discuss] Acknowledging messages using the EventingBasicConsumer

[Toby Riley]

Thanks Emile,

I'll probably go with the auto ack for now or _channel.BasicAck as it's quite legal to access the property within the anonymous delegate. However it would make sense to use the BasicAck on the sender as it seems cleaner and more obvious.

Regards

Toby

You should first make sure that it is correct to acknowledge the message. If there were any asynchronous events that could fail and that were triggered as a result of the message then you might as well use automatic acknowledgements.

I'm not sure why the event sender is null in your example. That may well be a bug in EventingBasicConsumer, which is classed as experimental.
Using the sender would be the preferable approach. I will file a bug to investigate why the value is null. Thanks for reporting this.
