Retrieving Queue Properties (COM)
A version of this page is also available for
4/8/2010
After a queue is created, the properties of the queue object can be retrieved at any time. However, these properties are only local properties of the registered properties.
For read-write properties such as MSMQQueueInfo.Label, call MSMQQueueInfo.Refresh (to retrieve the registered properties of the queue) if other applications may be changing the properties of the queue.
For read-only properties such as MSMQQueueInfo.FormatName, you must call MSMQQueueInfo.Refresh before the property can be retrieved. When Message Queuing sets a read-only property it sets the registered property, not the local property of the queue object.
Properties of public queues are register in the directory service. Properties of private queues are registered on the local machine. You can refresh the properties of private queues only if the queue is located on your local computer.
When MSMQQueueInfo.Refresh is called, it refreshes all the properties of the queue, not just those set by the application.
Note
You can also retrieve the properties of public queues by doing a query on the directory service.
