MessageQueue::GetPublicQueuesByMachine Method (String^)

 

Retrieves all the public queues that reside on the specified computer.

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

public:
static array<MessageQueue^>^ GetPublicQueuesByMachine(
	String^ machineName
)

Parameters

machineName
Type: System::String^

The name of the computer that contains the set of public queues to be retrieved.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Messaging::MessageQueue^>^

An array of MessageQueue objects that reference the public queues on the computer.

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

The machineName parameter has incorrect syntax.

MessageQueueException

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Use this method to filter the public queues by computer.

GetPublicQueuesByMachine(String^) retrieves a static snapshot of the queues. To interact with a dynamic list of the queues, use GetMessageQueueEnumerator. You can specify the computer name as part of the MessageQueueCriteria you pass into the method.
