Examples

The following code example uses the priority of a message to determine default properties to send for the message.

Remarks

When you send any object that is not of type Message to the queue, the MessageQueue inserts the object into a Message Queuing message. At that time, the MessageQueue applies to the message the property values you specify in the DefaultPropertiesToSend property. Conversely, if you send a Message to the queue, these properties are already specified for the instance itself, so DefaultPropertiesToSend is ignored for the Message.

Although you set the properties through the MessageQueue object, the DefaultPropertiesToSend refers to the properties of the messages that are sent to the queue, not the queue itself.

The default values for the properties are shown in the following table.

The following table shows whether this property is available in various Workgroup modes.
