Recommend Material for Message Queueing

Does anyone know of any good sites or books to read up on using Windows
Message Queue with .Net? I am starting to convert a long standing
PowerBuilder server application to .Net. The current application receives
messages from client machines via TCP/IP to submit calculations to a c++
calculation engine. The number of engines that can run concurrently is
limited by hardware and configurable, so the server application queues them
up if an engine is not currently available. Once the engine is complete
processing, a message is sent back to the client app.

The "powers to be" have determined that the new version of the app will use
message queue functionality. This provides us better scalability and
stability because we can now have multiple "server" apps monitoring a queue
when they have resources available for processing.

Anyway, I am unfamiliar with Windows Message Queueu (formally MSMQ) and need
to read up on Message Queue itself as well as how .Net makes it easy to work
with.

TIA,
Stephen

The .NET Framework has System.Messagin g to deal with it. From the limited
stuff I've done with it, the managed API looks very, very nice :).

Good luck,

Without naming any books, I've found that a lot of the literate out there is
information contained here, just fleshed out a little more. Read the
reviews on Amazon before buying anything....

Hello I am writing a real time program which queues up a number of tasks for processing. Each item in the queue must be submitted to a device sequentially. ie it is not possible to just blast the hardware with 3 items. Instead you submit job1, wait for notification that job1 is complete then submit job2, etc. I suppose it is a bit like a print job queueing system. How would I start writing a class to control this?

Hello, I am a seasoned Classic ASP programmer who is interested in learning ASP.NET. I bought a book (Que's Special Edition Using ASP.NET) which is complete rubbish, and would like a recommendation of something better. I have a very basic idea of how ASP.NET works having spent a couple of days playing with it, but it's still a large amount of fog with only a little clarity. I would like something that explains what's going on

Hi, I have a client server application where the client sends a request to the server with a filename. The server needs to read the file contents, massage the data, and then add it to the database. However, if two requests show up at the same time, I need to create some sort of a waiting mechanism or queue. I was thinking about using a Singleton Server Activation object for this reason, but I am not sure how I can implement the...
