Sending a message consists of the following tasks:

  • Opening a queue with send access

  • Calling the MSMQMessage.Sendmethod

  • Closing the queue

The following procedure and example code show how this is done when sending a message whose body contains a string.

To send a string in a message

  1. Declare the objects needed to send a message.

    The example uses MSMQQueueInfo, MSMQQueue, and MSMQMessageobjects.

  2. Open the destination queue with send access.

    This example creates a public queue on the local computer if the specified queue does not exist.

  3. Call Sendto send the string message.

  4. Call MSMQQueue.Closeto close the queue.
