Rabbitmq retrieve multiple messages using single synchronous call

Question

Is there a way to receive multiple message using a single synchronous call ?

When I know that there are N messages( N could be a small value less than 10) in the queue,

Not an elegant solution and does not solve making multiple calls but you can use the MessageCount method. For example:

  bool noAck = false;
  var messageCount = channel.MessageCount("hello");
  BasicGetResult result = null;
  if (messageCount == 0)
  {
      // No messages available
  }
  else
  {
      while (messageCount > 0)
      {
          result = channel.BasicGet("hello", noAck);
          var message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(result.Body);
          //process message .....
          messageCount = channel.MessageCount("hello");
      }
