MessageQueue.GetPublicQueuesByMachine(String) Method

Definition

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

public:
 static cli::array <System::Messaging::MessageQueue ^> ^ GetPublicQueuesByMachine(System::String ^ machineName);
public static System.Messaging.MessageQueue[] GetPublicQueuesByMachine (string machineName);
static member GetPublicQueuesByMachine : string -> System.Messaging.MessageQueue[]
Public Shared Function GetPublicQueuesByMachine (machineName As String) As MessageQueue()

Parameters

machineName
String

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

Returns

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

Exceptions

The machineName parameter has incorrect syntax.

An error occurred when accessing a Message Queuing method.

Remarks

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.

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

Workgroup mode Available
Local computer No
Local computer and direct format name No
