MSMQ Support .Net Standard

Question

The portability of "System.Messaging" for .Net Standard is it scheduled?

Answer 1

.netstandard is cross platform, so MSMQ which depends on windows, can not implemented in .netstandard (which is a base api).

MSMQ, like WCF did not make the cut to be ported to net core.

your practical solutions based on requirements are:

1) if you only need queueing support, create a rest api website in 4.8 that supports queuing. you .net 6 apps can call this site.
2) if you need a .net 6 app to receive queue message, use a rest api, and have a 4.8 MSMQ app call the rest api.

long term you need to pick a new messaging standard, as MSMQ is fairly dead.

Answer 2

No .net standard is cross platform and msmq is windows only. As far as I know .net standard 2.1 is the last version of .net standard. .net 5 and 6 work on multiple platforms so dont require .net standard
