MessageQueue.Create Method (String)

Creates a nontransactional Message Queuing queue at the specified path.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Shared Function Create( _
   ByVal path As String _
) As MessageQueue
[C#]
public static MessageQueue Create(
 string path
);
[C++]
public: static MessageQueue* Create(
 String* path
);
[JScript]
public static function Create(
   path : String
) : MessageQueue;

Parameters

path

The path of the queue to create.

Return Value

A MessageQueue that represents the new queue.

Exceptions

Remarks

Use this overload to create a nontransactional Message Queuing queue.

To create a new instance of the MessageQueue class in your application and bind it to an existing queue, use the MessageQueue constructor. To create a new queue in Message Queuing, call Create.

The syntax for the path parameter depends on the type of queue it references.

Use "." for the local computer. For more syntax, see the Path property.

The following table shows whether this method is available in various Workgroup modes.
