Hello,

Great Question. I had the same problem and was also frustrated with the
lack of postings.

The problem is the MessageQueue.FormatName is now read-only in .net.

In the good old days of COM msmq, one could use the:
MSMQQueueInfo.FormatName = "DIRECT=OS:MyServer\private$\someQ"
where "MyServer" is a remote machine name. You had to do it this was for remote
machines. MSMQQueueInfo.pathname would bomb when trying to access private queues from remote machines.

In .net, it still bombs;however, MessageQueue doesn't expose a write property for .FormatName.

That sucks!!!

The answer, which works in .net, not COM msmq is:

//c# code begin==========================
string lsTemp = @"FormatName:DIRECT=OS:MyServer\private$\someQ" ;
if (mQueue == null)
          mQueue = new MessageQueue(lsTemp);
//c# code end==============================
where MyServer is the UNC name of some remote computer & someQ is a private queue on MyServer.

Remember, for COM MSMQ, you have to

vb6 code begin===================
mMSMQQueueInfo.FormatName = "DIRECT=OS:MyServer\private$\someQ"
vb6 code end ===================

In summary, in vb6 ALWAYS USE THE .FORMATNAME property over the PATHNAME property.
In .net, use the "FormatName:DIRECT=OS:" prefix in the constructor as seen above.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Here I am using the same kind of code to send a message to a remote machine.

I have created the transactional queue "TestAtMANDYATALUKA" in the machine TKServer.

I am executing the following code from other machine.

string QueueName = @"FORMATNAME:DIRECT=OS:TKServer\private$\TestAtMAN DYATALUKA";
if (MessageQueue.Exists(QueueName))
{
MessageQueue myQueue = new MessageQueue(QueueName);
myQueue.Send(message);
}

When It is checking for existence, it is giving me the error as "Cannot determine whether a queue with the specified name exists".

Thanks in advance.
