Msmq.NetCore

Msmq.NetCore is a drop-in replacement for System.Messaging on .NET Core, providing access to the features of MSMQ on the latest .NET Core runtime. This library is a fork of the original MSMQ.Messaging project and has been updated to support .NET Standard 2.1.

Note: This project is intended for use with .NET Core only. For .NET Framework users, it is recommended to continue using System.Messaging.

Features

• MSMQ Support: Provides an interface for working with Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) on .NET Core.
• Fork of MSMQ.Messaging: Built on the foundation of the original project, updated for modern .NET technologies.
• Simple Integration: Drop-in replacement for the legacy System.Messaging namespace, making it easy to migrate to .NET Core.

Usage

Basic Example

To start using Msmq.NetCore, you can replace System.Messaging with Msmq.NetCore in your project. Here's an example of how to send and receive messages:

using Msmq.NetCore;

var queuePath = @".\Private$\MyQueue";

// Create the queue if it doesn't exist
if (!MessageQueue.Exists(queuePath))
{
    MessageQueue.Create(queuePath);
}

// Sending a message
using (var queue = new MessageQueue(queuePath))
{
    var message = new Message("Hello, MSMQ!");
    queue.Send(message);
}

// Receiving a message
using (var queue = new MessageQueue(queuePath))
{
    queue.Formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new string[] { "System.String" });
    var receivedMessage = queue.Receive();
    Console.WriteLine($"Received message: {receivedMessage.Body}");
}

Compatibility

• Target Framework: .NET Standard 2.1 (only for .NET Core).
• Platform: Windows (MSMQ is platform-specific).
