MessageQueue Programming Architecture

When you add an instance of the MessageQueue component to your form or designer, the references and import statements you need to access these namespaces and classes are automatically created. However, if you are creating your MessageQueue components in code, you might need to create a reference to System.Messaging and add a statement to your project importing (in Visual Basic) or using (in C#) that namespace.

You can use the following methods to interact with an instance of the MessageQueue component:

Method	Function
Create	To create a new message queue using the path you specify.
Delete	To delete an existing queue.
Exists	To see whether a particular message queue exists.
GetPublicQueues	To locate message queues in your Message Queuing network.
Peek or BeginPeek	To look at messages in a particular queue without removing the messages from the queue.
Receive and BeginReceive	To retrieve the message at the front of the specified queue and remove it from the queue.
Send	To send a message to the specified queue.
