Message Queuing Sample Applications
Applies To: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server Technical Preview, Windows Vista
The Microsoft® Platform SDK includes the complete source code for several Message Queuing sample applications that illustrate how to implement Message Queuing. You can obtain the source code for these samples by downloading the Core SDK from the SDK Update Site. After the installation process is completed, you will find the samples in the subfolders under the \Program Files\Microsoft SDK\samples\netds\Message Queuing folder on the drive where the SDK software is installed. The names of the subfolders correspond to the names of the samples.

Interops with C_Draw, Imp_Draw, VB_Draw, CSharp_Draw, DL_Draw, and Multi_Dest_Draw. Requires MSMQ 3.0. |
| MqPers | A C++ console application that demonstrates how to build a persistent COM object using ATL and then send and receive it as an MSMQ message. Requires MSMQ 1.0 or later and ATL 3.0. |
| MqPort | A C++ console application that demonstrates how to use completion ports to asynchronously receive MSMQ messages. Requires MSMQ 2.0 or later. |
| MqTestOA | A C++ console application that demonstrates how to send and receive messages between processes using the MSMQ COM components. Interops with MSMQTest. Requires MSMQ 2.0 or later. |
| MqTrans | A C++ console application that demonstrates how to implement coordinated transactions that include sending or receiving an MSMQ message and a SQL database update. Requires MSMQ 1.0 or later installed on a computer with access to the directory service, ODBC, and SQL Server 6.5 or later. |
| MSMQTest | A C++ console application that demonstrates how to send and receive messages between processes using MSMQ API functions. Interops with MqTestOA. Requires MSMQ 2.0 or later. |
| Multi_Dest_Draw | A Visual Basic distributed drawing application that sends and asynchronously receives messages containing line-drawing information using a multiple-element format name as the remote destination. Interops with C_Draw, Imp_Draw, VB_Draw, CSharp_Draw, DL_Draw, and Mqf_Draw. Requires MSMQ 3.0 and Visual Basic 5.0 or later. |
| Multicast_Draw | A Visual Basic distributed drawing application that sends and asynchronously receives messages containing line-drawing information using a multicast address as the remote destination. Receives messages sent from C_Draw, Imp_Draw, VB_Draw, CSharp_Draw, DL_Draw, Mqf_Draw, and Multi_Dest_Draw. Requires MSMQ 3.0 and Visual Basic 5.0 or later |
| ReplyAll | A Visual Basic application that demonstrates how to use the MSMQ Mail COM object library. Requires MSMQ 1.0 or later installed on a computer with access to the directory service. |
