SUMMARY

This article describes how to create an Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) queue and send a test message to the queue using an Active Server Pages (ASP) script that uses VBScript.

   <HTML>
   <BODY>

   <%
      set iq = Server.CreateObject ("MSMQ.MSMQQueueInfo")

      iq.PathName = ".\ASPQueue"
      iq.Create
      set myq = iq.Open ( 2, 0 )
      If myq.IsOpen Then
              Set msgOut = Server.CreateObject("MSMQ.MSMQMessage")

            msgOut.Priority = 4
            msgOut.Body = "This is a test message"
            msgOut.Label = "Test Message"
            msgOut.Send myq
         End If
