C#

/** @property */
public void set_QueueName (String value)

Property Value

The name that identifies the queue referenced by this MessageQueue. The value cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Exception type Condition

ArgumentException

The queue name is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

You can combine the QueueName with the MachineName to create a friendly Path name for the queue. The syntax for the friendly name variation of the Path property depends on the type of queue, as shown in the following table.

Queue type

Syntax

Public queue

MachineName\QueueName

Private queue

MachineName\Private$\QueueName

Journal queue

MachineName\QueueName\Journal$

Use "." to represent the local computer.

Changing the QueueName property affects the Path property. If you set the QueueName without setting the MachineName property, the Path property becomes .\QueueName. Otherwise, the Path becomes MachineName\QueueName.

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