Problem sending to private queue on another machine with msmq

[Richard]

I have msmq installed on both machines as a workgroup

i am attempting to read the private queue MyQueue On DTW-TEMP-WEBSVR
from my machine

using the code

oQueue.Path = "FormatName:DIRECT=OS:DTW-TEMP-WEBSVR\Private$\MyQueue"

oQueue.Send("lll", "My Customer Dataset")

i get the error

The specified format name does not support the requested operation. For
example, a direct queue format name cannot be deleted.

when i use the path
oQueue.Path = ".\Private$\MyQueue"

it works ok

How do i send to a private queue on another machine?

Hi Richard,
The lines of code you posted look perfectly OK...

Can you post the full working code and the error you got?

BTW: This is the code that worked for me... (In C#)
MessageQueue oQueue = new MessageQueue();

oQueue.Path = @"FormatName:DIRECT=OS:DTW-TEMP-WEBSVR\Private$\MyQueue";

oQueue.Send("lll", "My Customer Dataset");

Thanks a lot,
Yoel

I think you mean 'write' not 'read' (since your sammple code does a send not
a receive).

Are you trying to do a send within a transaction?

[Richard]

ooops! Yes i mean write not read. I am attempting to send to the queue and
i am not using a transaction

[Richard]

Dim Queue As New
MessageQueue("FormatName:DIRECT=OS:DTW-TEMP-WEBSVR\Private$\MyQueue")
Queue.Send("Test")

this code gets the same result

I just use cut and paste to place those two lines of code into a VB.NET
program's button click handler and it worked as expected - the message was
sent to the appropriate outgoing queue.

Of course my system doesn't recognise the name DTW-TEMP-WEBSVR so the
message can never get delivered, but that's not important, the send
succeeded.

Could you enclose the Send call in a try-catch block, write
exception.ToString () to the console and then post the whole exception
description here?

im sorry but. could y help me pls?

I have this code (C#):

System.Messaging.Message msg = new System.Messaging.Message();
msg.Body = "hello"

MessageQueue mq = new MessageQueue("FormatName:DIRECT=OS:mymachinename\\PRIVATE$\\temp");

mq.SetPermissions("Everyone", MessageQueueAccessRights.FullControl);

mq.Send(msg, "hello");

but always got this error:

"The specified format name does not support the requested operation. For example, a direct queue format name cannot be deleted."

where i can find any example of MessageQueue to send a remote machine with private queue
