DefaultPropertiesToSend Class

Specifies the default property values that will be used when sending objects other than Message instances to a message queue.

Namespace:  System.Messaging
Assembly:  System.Messaging (in System.Messaging.dll)

Public Class DefaultPropertiesToSend
'Usage
Dim instance As DefaultPropertiesToSend

You can set default values on selected properties for messages sent to a MessageQueue. DefaultPropertiesToSend is used to specify default property values of the message being sent when objects other than Message instances are sent to a queue, for example, the string argument passed into the Send method in the code fragment, myMessageQueue.Send("hello"). The Message class has corresponding, identically named properties to those in DefaultPropertiesToSend that provide the values when sending a Message instance specifically. Even if you have specified MessageQueue.DefaultPropertiesToSend for a queue, sending a Message object to that queue will cause the values for the identically named Message properties to override the queue's DefaultPropertiesToSend values.

Properties that you do not set explicitly default to the values specified by the constructor, DefaultPropertiesToSend.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of DefaultPropertiesToSend, see the DefaultPropertiesToSend constructor.

The following code example uses the priority of a message to determine default properties to send for the message.
