Microsoft Message Queue programming

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

I needed a way to send messages from one application to another in an asynchronous fashion, and I was lazy. I didn't want to set up any databases for the task, so somehow I started thinking about Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ).

Again, .NET framework provides nice and easy support for MSMQ programming, and so I found a class in the System.Messaging namespace to do the task for me.

But, our client application is a Win32 application, so it will be only next week when I get to know if these two worlds can work together. They should, but whether there will be compatibility issues, I don't yet know.
