| Data type: | Long |
| Run-time access: | Read/write |
Property AppSpecific As Long
Property Value
A Long containing application-defined information.
Remarks
The AppSpecific property can be used to identify a single message or set of messages. For example, the receiving application can search a queue for all messages that have the same application specific information.
If the sending application sets AppSpecific to a negative value, receiving applications that are using the API calls to read messages will read these values as Unsigned Long values.
Another message property that can be used to pass application-defined information is MSMQMessage.CorrelationId.
Equivalent API Function Property
With API function calls, the equivalent property is PROPID_M_APPSPECIFIC.
