Examples

The following example iterates through message queues and displays the path of each queue that was created in the last day and that exists on the computer "MyComputer".

Remarks

The MessageQueue class provides a number of methods that enable you to filter your search for public queues on the network. Specific methods for filtering by queue label, category, or server location are the GetPublicQueuesByLabel, GetPublicQueuesByCategory, and GetPublicQueuesByMachine.

The MessageQueueCriteria class, when used with the GetPublicQueues method, allows you to refine your filter. You can specify search criteria not specifically addressed through one of the GetPublicQueuesBy* methods, or by multiple criteria. You can pass a MessageQueueCriteria instance into the GetPublicQueues method in order to search, for example, by queue creation or modification times, the computer the queue resides on, the queue label or category, or any combination of these properties.

When filtering by multiple properties, the criteria are composed by applying the AND operator to the set of properties. Thus, when you specify a value for the CreatedAfter property together with the MachineName property, you are asking for all queues that were created after a specified time and that reside on a specific computer.

When you set any property, the method that sets the property also sets a flag to indicate that it should be included in the filter you are building. You cannot remove individual properties from the search filter. Instead, you remove all properties from the filter by calling ClearAll, and then set the properties that you do want to build into the search filter. ClearAll resets all properties into a "not set" default state.

You must set a property before trying to read it; otherwise, an exception is thrown.

Constructors

MessageQueueCriteria()

Initializes a new instance of the MessageQueueCriteria class.

Properties

Category	Gets or sets the category by which to filter queues in the network.
CreatedAfter	Gets or sets the lower boundary of the queue creation date and time by which to filter queues on the network.
CreatedBefore	Gets or sets the upper boundary of the queue creation date and time by which to filter queues on the network.
Label	Gets or sets the label by which to filter queues in the network.
MachineName	Gets or sets the computer name by which to filter queues in the network.
ModifiedAfter	Gets or sets the lower boundary of the queue modification date and time by which to filter queues on the network.
ModifiedBefore	Gets or sets the upper boundary of the queue modification date and time by which to filter queues on the network.

Methods

ClearAll()	Clears all properties from being built into a filter and puts all property values into a "not set" state.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
