How can I send an AWS SQS message with C# with a custom timeout?

Question

Here's my basic code to send an SQS message from C# using the AWS .NET SDK. How can I give the message a different timeout other than the queue default?

 public async Task PostMessage(Uri queueUrl, string body) { var request = new SendMessageRequest() { MessageBody = body, QueueUrl = queueUrl.ToString(), }; var result = await this.client.SendMessageAsync(request); }

I can send a separate API call to extend the timeout of an in-flight message. But I'd like to do this at the time of creation if that's practical to do.

You can't do it with C# API or with any other API. Message visibility timeout is set globally on a queue.

I would suggest to create 2 queues. One for short tasks and one for long tasks. This way you can set different visibility timeouts on the queues.
