ResponseQueueInfo
MSMQMessage

The ResponseQueueInfo property specifies a queue for receiving response messages from the target application.

Syntax

set object1.ResponseQueueInfo = object2
 

Settings

MSMQQueueInfo object.

Remarks

ResponseQueueInfo is used to send the format name of another queue to the receiving application. Typically, this is done so that the receiving application can send response messages back to the sending application. For information on response queues, see Response Queues.

Note  The MSMQQueueInfo object of a private queue (which would be inaccessible otherwise) can also be sent using queuinfoResponse.

Messages returned to the queue are application defined. The application must define what is in the messages as well as what is to be done when a message is received.

For a complete example of sending a message that requests a response plus sending the response, see Sending Messages that Request a Response.

Example

This example locates a response and destination queue (creating them if needed), sends a message to the destination queue, and retrieves the message and sends a response message back to the response queue. To coordinate between the two messages, the correlation identifier of the response message (CorrelationId) is set to the message identifier of the original message.

To try this example using Microsoft Visual Basic (version 5.0), paste the code into the Code window of a form, run the example, and click the form.
