Remarks

The DataAsString property is available only if the binary data of the message contains only text (UTF8) characters. Otherwise, the DataAsString property returns unpredictable results. You should not attempt to use the DataAsString property unless you are certain the data was received as UTF8 encoded characters. You can send a message as UTF8 encoded characters using the PublishMessage method.

Remarks

Messages are delivered to all applications that have subscribed to the message type (as indicated by the messageType parameter). Message type values are case-sensitive strings that consist of two parts: the protocol and the subtype. The protocol is first, followed by a dot (.) and then the subtype. For the PublishMessage method, the protocol must always be "Windows.". The subtype is a string of alphanumeric characters and the following additional characters: . ( ) + , - : = @ ; $ _ ! * ’. The subtype cannot exceed a length of 250 characters.
