MailSlot Size Limit?

Question

I want to know is there size limit for total data kept in given MailSlot ? I found that max message size is 65k so there should be no limit for the total size right ?

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

There does exist a limit and as mailslots don't guarantee delivery, extra data will be lost.

Answer 2

No sure of where your data from. But from Msdn, It says: The data in a mailslot message can be in any form, but cannot be larger than 424 bytes when sent between computers.
