Using Messaging Components 

The MessageQueue component allows you to build complex messaging into your applications. Using MessageQueue component instances, you can easily send messages to and receive messages from any queue in your network.

XML Web services provide another means for incorporating messaging-type behavior into your applications. Using XML Web services, you can pass information back and forth between a Web application and any client. For more information, see Introduction to Programming XML Web Services in Managed Code.

The MessageQueue component allows you to easily incorporate message-based communication into your applications. Using this component and its associated language features, you can send and receive messages, explore existing queues, create and delete queues, and perform a variety of other operations using a simple programming model.
