MSMQ Transport: Viewing content |
See queues and message contents. |
|
The queues on the local machine can be listed using Server Explorer in Visual Studio:
If there is a message in one of the queues, select it and view the properties of the message in the property panel in Visual Studio (usually on the bottom right):
The most interesting property is the BodyStream as it allows the contents of the message to be seen:
The MSMQ MMC snap-in can be used to manage queues.
Use one of the following based on the OS
Start > Run > compmgmt.msc (Computer Management) > Features > Message Queuing
or
Start > Run > compmgmt.msc (Computer Management) > Services and Applications > Message Queuing.
Queue Explorer is a commercial 3rd party product for managing MSMQ.
QueueExplorer can do much more than with built-in management console - copy, move or delete messages, save and load, stress test, view and edit full message bodies (with special support for .Net serialized objects), and much more. And it works with remote queues too!
A free application to view and manage MSMQ messages.
