title: Sending messages to MSMQ using a WCF service
body: <p>I've created a WCF service to send a message to an MSMQ, I can get it to run and it looks like the message was sent but when looking at the queue it's not there.  I've verified and the queue is not a transactional queue. Security is open so that everyone can send messages but I'm wondering if there are other places to set security?  Here is my code I'm using. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim mq As MessageQueue
  Dim msg As Message
  Dim queueName As String = "webdevbvm.labsafety.com\emailsubscriptions"
  
  Try
     msg = New Message("Test")
     msg.Priority = MessagePriority.Highest
  
     If (MessageQueue.Exists(queueName)) Then
         mq = New MessageQueue(queueName)
     msg.ResponseQueue = mq
     msg.UseJournalQueue = True
     msg.Label = "Test Message"
     msg.Body = "This is only a test"
     mq.Send(msg)
     Console.WriteLine("Message sent.")
     End If
  Catch ex As MessageQueueException
     Console.WriteLine("MSMQ Error: " + ex.ToString())
  Catch ex As Exception
     Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.ToString())
  Finally
     mq.Close()
  End Try
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get no errors but I do see the messages in my outgoing queue from the machine that is running the program.  It shows the queue exists and if I change the queue name to one that doesn't exist it doesn't go into the IF statement so I know it's seeing the queue just not sending the file.  If it helps I'm running the program locally on a laptop and the queue it's sending too is on a Windows 2003 server.</p>
