Examples

The following code example sends two messages of different priorities to the queue, and retrieves them subsequently.

Remarks

Use this overload to create a new instance of the Message class that has an empty body.

Specify either the Body property or the BodyStream property before sending the Message object. The Body property can be any object that can be serialized, such as a text string, a structure object, a class instance, or an embedded object.

Unless you write the contents of the message directly to the BodyStream property, set the Formatter property before you send the message. The body is serialized using the Formatter property's value at the time the Send method is called on the MessageQueue instance.

The XmlMessageFormatter is loosely coupled, so it is not necessary to have the same object type on the sender and receiver when using this format. The ActiveXMessageFormatter and BinaryMessageFormatter serialize the data into binary representation. The ActiveXMessageFormatter is used when sending or receiving COM components.

The following table shows initial property values for an instance of Message.

Property Initial value
AcknowledgeType AcknowledgeType.None
AdministrationQueue null
AppSpecific 0
AttachSenderId true
AuthenticationProviderName Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider version 1.0
AuthenticationProviderType CryptoProviderType.RSA_FULL
Body null
BodyStream Stream.null
BodyType 0
ConnectorType Guid.Empty
CorrelationId An empty string ("")
DestinationSymmetricKey A zero-length array of bytes
DigitalSignature A zero-length array of bytes
EncryptionAlgorithm EncryptionAlgorithm.RC2
Extension A zero-length array of bytes
Formatter XmlMessageFormatter
HashAlgorithm HashAlgorithm.MD5
Label An empty string ("")
Priority MessagePriority.Normal
Recoverable false
ResponseQueue null
SenderCertificate A zero-length array of bytes

Remarks

Use this overload to create a new instance of the Message class that contains the Body specified by the body parameter. The body parameter can be any object that can be serialized, such as a text string, a structure object, a class instance, or an embedded object. The body is serialized using the XmlMessageFormatter unless you change the Formatter property before the Message is sent. If you change the Body or Formatter property at any time before calling Send, the message will be serialized according to the new property value.

The XmlMessageFormatter is loosely coupled, so it is not necessary to have the same object type on the sender and receiver when using this format. The ActiveXMessageFormatter and BinaryMessageFormatter serialize the data into binary representation. The ActiveXMessageFormatter is used when sending or receiving COM components.
