MessageQueue::Label Property
Gets or sets the queue description.
Assembly: System.Messaging (in System.Messaging.dll)
public: [MessagingDescriptionAttribute("MQ_Label")] property String^ Label { String^ get(); void set(String^ value); }
Property Value
Type: System::String^The label for the message queue. The default is an empty string ("").
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The label was set to an invalid value. |
| MessageQueueException | An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method. |
The maximum length of a message queue label is 124 characters.
The Label property does not need to be unique across all queues. However, if multiple queues share the same Label, you cannot use the Send(Object^) method to broadcast a message to all of them. If you use the label syntax for the Path property when you send the message, an exception will be thrown if the Label is not unique.
