Remarks

Close frees all resources associated with a MessageQueue, including shared resources if appropriate. The system re-acquires these resources automatically if they are still available, for example when you call the Send(Object) method, as in the following C# code.

myMessageQueue.Send("Text 1.");
myMessageQueue.Close();
myMessageQueue.Send("Text 2."); //Resources are re-acquired.

When you call Close, all MessageQueue properties that directly access the Message Queuing queue are cleared out. The Path, DefaultPropertiesToSend, Formatter, and MessageReadPropertyFilter all remain as they were.

Close does not always free the read and write handles to a queue, because they might be shared. You can take any of the following steps to ensure that Close frees the read and write handles to a queue:

Create the MessageQueue with exclusive access. To do so, call the MessageQueue(String, Boolean) or MessageQueue(String, Boolean, Boolean) constructor, and set the sharedModeDenyReceive parameter to true.
Create the MessageQueue with connection caching disabled. To do so, call the MessageQueue(String, Boolean, Boolean) constructor and set the enableConnectionCache parameter to false.
Disable connection caching. To do so, set the EnableConnectionCache property to false.

You should call Close for a queue before you delete the queue on the Message Queuing server. Otherwise, messages sent to the queue could throw exceptions or appear in the dead-letter queue.
