Read Text From Message Tab

I am trying to catch and parse the message after passing a transaction to SQL from a clr proc. For example in the below code after passing sp.ExecuteAndSend(qry) how can I receive the message of "(1 row(s) affected)" from the messages tab. I know that I can write to the message tab with sp.Send, but is it possible to read from the output?

Thank you in advance for your assistance

(ByVal sInputFile As String)
Dim sContents As String
Dim sp As SqlPipe = SqlContext.Pipe()
Dim qry As New SqlCommand()
Dim stmReader As New StreamReader(sInputFile)

Try
'Create a string reader and pass it the input parameter of the
'file path. The sContents variable will receive the content of
'the stream reader
sContents = stmReader.ReadToEnd()
stmReader.Close()
'Replace single quotes to enclose the quotes so errors aren't raised
sContents = sContents.Replace("'", "''''")
'Create a query object and convet the sContents to an xml data
'type
qry.CommandText = " SELECT CONVERT(XML, '" & _
sContents & "')"
'Execute the query and pass the result set back to SQL
sp.ExecuteAndSend(qry)

sp.Send(qry.CommandText.ToString.Substring(1, 3000))
Catch ex As Exception
'Cath any exceptions and use a sqlpipe to send the error
'message back to sql
sp.Send(ex.Message.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
