C# MSMQ MessageQueue Id - How to get Valid Guid

I tried to send a message in a Local Queue as well as in the Remote Queue.

The Sample Source is 

Guid queueId;

try
{
    MessageQueue rmQ = new MessageQueue("FormatName:Direct=TCP:192.168.5.26\\Private$\\RemoteQueue");
    //MessageQueue rmQ = new MessageQueue(".\\Private$\\LocalQueue");
    rmQ.Send("Once again Mr.John Please come here...");

    queueId = rmQ.Id;
}
catch (ArgumentException ex)
{
    throw ex;
}
catch (MessageQueueException ex)
{
    throw ex;
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
    throw ex;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw ex;
}

In all the Scenario I am getting Guid.Empy but the message is queuing successfully in the respective machine's Message Queue.

Solution

  • You are trying to access an ID of a private queue, which is unsupported. MSDN says:

    Message Queuing sets the Id property when it creates the queue. This property is only available for public queues.
