Examples

The following code example connects to a message queue and sends a message to the queue.

#using <system.dll>

End Class

The following code example sends an application-defined Order class to a queue and then receives a message from that queue.

Remarks

Use this overload to send a message that contains the obj parameter to the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. The object you send to the queue can be a Message or any managed object. If you send any object other than a Message, the object is serialized and inserted into the body of the message.

If you use this overload to send a message to a transactional queue, the message will be sent to the dead-letter queue. If you want the message to be part of a transaction that contains other messages, use an overload that takes a MessageQueueTransaction or MessageQueueTransactionType as a parameter.

If you do not set the Formatter property before calling Send(Object), the formatter defaults to the XmlMessageFormatter.

The DefaultPropertiesToSend property applies to any object other than a Message. If you specify, for example, a label or a priority using the DefaultPropertiesToSend member, these values apply to any message that contains an object that is not of type Message when your application sends it to the queue. When sending a Message, the property values set for the Message take precedence over DefaultPropertiesToSend and the message's Message.Formatter property takes precedence over the queue's MessageQueue.Formatter property.

Remarks

Use this overload to send a message that contains the obj parameter to the transactional queue referenced by the MessageQueue, using an internal transaction context defined by the transaction parameter. The object you send to the queue can be a Message or any managed object. If you send any object other than a Message, the object is serialized and inserted into the body of the message.

If you use this overload to send a message to a non-transactional queue, the message might be sent to the dead-letter queue without throwing an exception.

If you do not set the Formatter property before calling Send(Object), the formatter defaults to the XmlMessageFormatter.

The DefaultPropertiesToSend property applies to any object other than a Message. If you specify, for example, a label or a priority using the DefaultPropertiesToSend member, these values apply to any message that contains an object that is not of type Message when your application sends it to the queue. When sending a Message, the property values set for the Message take precedence over DefaultPropertiesToSend and the message's Message.Formatter property takes precedence over the queue's MessageQueue.Formatter property.

MessageQueueTransaction is threading apartment aware, so if your apartment state is STA, you cannot use the transaction in multiple threads. Visual Basic sets the state of the main thread to STA, so you must apply the MTAThreadAttribute in the Main subroutine. Otherwise, sending a transactional message using another thread throws a MessageQueueException exception. You apply the MTAThreadAttribute by using the following fragment.

<System.MTAThreadAttribute>
 public sub Main()

Applies to

Send(Object, MessageQueueTransactionType)

Sends an object to the queue referenced by this MessageQueue.

public:
 void Send(System::Object ^ obj, System::Messaging::MessageQueueTransactionType transactionType);
public void Send (object obj, System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransactionType transactionType);
member this.Send : obj * System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransactionType -> unit
Public Sub Send (obj As Object, transactionType As MessageQueueTransactionType)

Parameters

obj
Object

The object to send to the queue.

transactionType
MessageQueueTransactionType

One of the MessageQueueTransactionType values, describing the type of transaction context to associate with the message.

Exceptions

The transactionType parameter is not one of the MessageQueueTransactionType members.

The Path property has not been set.

-or-

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of Send(Object, MessageQueueTransactionType).


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue^ queue = gcnew MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message^ msg = gcnew Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue->Send(msg, MessageQueueTransactionType::Single);

queue->Close();

// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message msg = new Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue.Send(msg, MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

Remarks

Use this overload to send a message that contains the obj parameter to the queue referenced by the MessageQueue, using a transaction context defined by the transactionType parameter. Specify Automatic for the transactionType parameter if there is already an external transaction context attached to the thread that you want to use to send the message. Specify Single if you want to send the message as a single internal transaction. You can specify None if you want to send a transactional message to a non-transactional thread.

The object you send to the queue can be a Message or any managed object. If you send any object other than a Message, the object is serialized and inserted into the body of the message.

If you do not set the Formatter property before calling Send(Object), the formatter defaults to the XmlMessageFormatter.

The DefaultPropertiesToSend property applies to any object other than a Message. If you specify, for example, a label or a priority using the DefaultPropertiesToSend member, these values apply to any message that contains an object that is not of type Message when your application sends it to the queue. When sending a Message, the property values set for the Message take precedence over DefaultPropertiesToSend and the message's Message.Formatter property takes precedence over the queue's MessageQueue.Formatter property.

Send(Object, String)

Sends an object to the non-transactional queue referenced by this MessageQueue and specifies a label for the message.

public:
 void Send(System::Object ^ obj, System::String ^ label);
public void Send (object obj, string label);
member this.Send : obj * string -> unit
Public Sub Send (obj As Object, label As String)

Parameters

obj
Object

The object to send to the queue.

label
String

The label of the message.

Exceptions

The label parameter is null.

The Path property has not been set.

-or-

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of Send(Object, String).


// Connect to a queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue^ queue = gcnew MessageQueue(".\\exampleQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message^ msg = gcnew Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue->Send(msg, "Example Message Label");

queue->Close();

// Connect to a queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(".\\exampleQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message msg = new Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue.Send(msg, "Example Message Label");

Remarks

Use this overload to send a message that contains the obj parameter to the queue referenced by the MessageQueue. With this overload, you can specify the string label that identifies the message. The object you send to the queue can be a Message, a structure, a data object, or any managed object. If you send any object other than a Message, the object is serialized and inserted into the body of the message.

The message label is distinct from the message queue label, but both are application-dependent and have no inherit meaning to Message Queuing.

If you use this overload to send a message to a transactional queue, the message will be sent to the dead-letter queue. If you want the message to be part of a transaction that contains other messages, use an overload that takes a MessageQueueTransaction or MessageQueueTransactionType as a parameter.

The Path property for this MessageQueue instance must be specified before you send the message. If you do not set the Formatter property before calling Send(Object), the formatter defaults to the XmlMessageFormatter.

The DefaultPropertiesToSend property applies to any object other than a Message. If you specify, for example, a label or a priority using the DefaultPropertiesToSend member, these values apply to any message that contains an object that is not of type Message when your application sends it to the queue. When sending a Message, the property values set for the Message take precedence over DefaultPropertiesToSend and the message's Message.Formatter property takes precedence over the queue's MessageQueue.Formatter property.

Send(Object, String, MessageQueueTransaction)

Sends an object to the transactional queue referenced by this MessageQueue and specifies a label for the message.

public:
 void Send(System::Object ^ obj, System::String ^ label, System::Messaging::MessageQueueTransaction ^ transaction);
public void Send (object obj, string label, System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransaction transaction);
member this.Send : obj * string * System.Messaging.MessageQueueTransaction -> unit

The label parameter is null.

-or-

The transaction parameter is null.

The Path property has not been set.

-or-

The Message Queuing application indicated an incorrect transaction usage.

-or-

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of Send(Object, String, MessageQueueTransaction).


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue^ queue = gcnew MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message^ msg = gcnew Message("Example Message Body");

// Create a message queuing transaction.

}

// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message msg = new Message("Example Message Body");

// Create a message queuing transaction.
MessageQueueTransaction transaction = new MessageQueueTransaction();

try
{
    // Begin a transaction.
    transaction.Begin();

    // Send the message to the queue.
    queue.Send(msg, "Example Message Label", transaction);

    // Commit the transaction.
    transaction.Commit();
}
catch(System.Exception e)
{
    // Cancel the transaction.
    transaction.Abort();

    // Propagate the exception.
    throw e;
}
finally
{
    // Dispose of the transaction object.
    transaction.Dispose();
}

Remarks

Use this overload to send a message that contains the obj parameter to the transactional queue referenced by the MessageQueue, using an internal transaction context defined by the transaction parameter. With this overload, you can specify the string label that identifies the message. The object you send to the queue can be a Message, a structure, a data object, or any managed object. If you send any object other than a Message, the object is serialized and inserted into the body of the message.

The message label is distinct from the message queue label, but both are application-dependent and have no inherit meaning to Message Queuing.

If you use this overload to send a message to a non-transactional queue, the message might be sent to the dead-letter queue without throwing an exception.

If you do not set the Formatter property before calling Send(Object), the formatter defaults to the XmlMessageFormatter.

The DefaultPropertiesToSend property applies to any object other than a Message. If you specify, for example, a label or a priority using the DefaultPropertiesToSend member, these values apply to any message that contains an object that is not of type Message when your application sends it to the queue. When sending a Message, the property values set for the Message take precedence over DefaultPropertiesToSend and the message's Message.Formatter property takes precedence over the queue's MessageQueue.Formatter property

MessageQueueTransaction is threading apartment aware, so if your apartment state is STA, you cannot use the transaction in multiple threads. Visual Basic sets the state of the main thread to STA, so you must apply the MTAThreadAttribute in the Main subroutine. Otherwise, sending a transactional message using another thread throws a MessageQueueException exception. You apply the MTAThreadAttribute by using the following fragment.

<System.MTAThreadAttribute>
 public sub Main()

The Path property has not been set.

-or-

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of Send(Object, String, MessageQueueTransactionType).


// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue^ queue = gcnew MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message^ msg = gcnew Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue->Send(msg, "Example Message Label",
    MessageQueueTransactionType::Single);

queue->Close();

// Connect to a transactional queue on the local computer.
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(".\\exampleTransQueue");

// Create a new message.
Message msg = new Message("Example Message Body");

// Send the message.
queue.Send(msg, "Example Message Label",
    MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

Remarks

Use this overload to send a message that contains the obj parameter to the queue referenced by the MessageQueue, using a transaction context defined by the transactionType parameter. Specify Automatic for the transactionType parameter if there is already an external transaction context attached to the thread that you want to use to send the message. Specify Single if you want to send the message as a single internal transaction. You can specify None if you want to send a transactional message to a non-transactional thread.

The object you send to the queue can be a Message or any managed object. If you send any object other than a Message, the object is serialized and inserted into the body of the message. With this overload, you can specify the string label that identifies the message.

The message label is distinct from the message queue label, but both are application-dependent and have no inherit meaning to Message Queuing.
