Remarks

Each Message Queuing message can have no more than 4 MB of data.

When sending messages using COM components, the sending application does not indicate the type of information (string, array of bytes, numeric types, currency, date, or COM object) that is stored in the message body. Message Queuing determines the body type from the true type of the Variant assigned to the MSMQMessage.Bodyproperty.

When peeking at or retrieving messages, the receiving application should determine what type of information is in the message body before processing the message body.

Message Queuing COM components ignore characters that follow the first null character in a string, including in the body of a message, without returning an error.

Equivalent Function property

When using functions, the body of the message can be set and retrieved using the PROPID_M_BODYproperty.

Requirements
