Remarks

The label of the queue can be used to identify the queue. For example, queues that accept incoming message can all use the label "Incoming Queue."

Locating Queues based on Labels

The MSMQQueueInfo.Label property can be used as search criteria when making a query of existing public queues.

Setting and Retrieving the Queue Label

To specify the label when creating the queue, set the MSMQQueueInfo.Label property and call the MSMQQueueInfo.Create method.

To reset the label of an open queue, set MSMQQueueInfo.Label to a new value and call the MSMQQueueInfo.Update method. This method updates the queue information stored by Message Queuing.

For public queues, this information is stored in the directory service.

For private queues, this information is stored on the computer where the messages of the queue are stored.

To retrieve the stored label of a queue, call the MSMQQueueInfo.Refresh method and inspect the MSMQQueueInfo.Label property.

Using Null characters in strings

Message Queuing COM components ignore characters that follow the first Null character in a string without returning an error.

Equivalent Function property

When using function calls, the label of the queue can be set and retrieved using the PROPID_Q_LABEL property.
