There is a remote machine (let's call it MSMQ machine) which has MSMQ installed on it and is used by several other processes. I would like to read the messages on a given private queue of the MSMQ machine from my local machine - BUT, I would like to avoid installing Message Queuing on my machine, since what I need is simply to check and monitor the messages. I will not send nor receive messages (at least won't store them), I just want to "peek" at them.
Is there any way to do this? I have a code more a less like this now:
public string CheckMessageQueue(machine, queue)
{
StringBuilder Ret = new StringBuilder();
var path = machine "\Private$\" + queue;
try
{
MessageQueue mq = new MessageQueue(path);
Message msg = new Message();
msg = mq.Peek();
Console.WriteLine(msg.ToString());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
if I run the code above I get the error message
"Message Queuing has not been installed on this computer."
