Hi freinds,
My VB6 application is having specific message format and its working fine with IBM Message Queue.
It is request / reply type of thing.
Now same thing when I am trying to do with .net I am failing.
Is there any specific format in which we need to supply the request string to get the reply .....

AFAIK the .NET interface automatically handles the MQMD the same way the VB6 one does.
Vicky - more info please. It's what kind of "request / reply type of thing"? By specific format do you mean not one of the IBM supplied format codes (dicey but supported by .NET interface). Do you use report options to obtain the "reply"?
The VB & .NET interefaces are functionally equivalent. Syntax and other differences are laid out in the .NET manual.

Is this the ".NET strings are Unicode by default" problem?

Hi
I am a .net developer. So i know very less about mq but now i m interacting more and more with mq's. This time its something like this.
In VB6----
I am having some fixed length which is being passed in request queue.
Based on this string (some filled and some empty parameters), I am getting reply from some other queue.
Same thing when I am trying to with dot net I am failing.
Can anyone guide me so as how to migrate vb6 - message queue to vb.net - message queue ???

I stand by my previous comment - the Using .NET manual will guide you in this matter.
If you post a little more specific information than "I am failing" we may be able to provide more specific help. Have you tried some of the sample .NET code supplied to get your feet wet with MQ as it were?
Also, which version of .NET are you using?

You did not answer Jeff's question.
Remember that a String is not a string is not a String......
c, .NET and java have all 3 different default string formats.
If you do not specify the right CCSID when sending the message or a Get with Convert option on a text message you are likely to not be able to interpret your string correctly.
Enjoy

Hi All,
I am trying to use the sample code available with ibm websphere mq installation.
I don't think that dot net is having unicode as default encoding.
My application is interacting with some application on mainframe system which is expecting some fixed format. Unfortunately i don't have any info about that thing.
I am trying to modify my code so that it can support the unicode encoding.
In case if you have suggestions . please post them.
Thanx

You might be surprised....

What thing? The fixed format required by the mainframe? That should be available from the application people, perhaps in a copybook or include format.
Also be sure you have conversion set up properly. It's unlikely (but by no means impossible) that the mainframe is using Unicode so however you end up doing it be use you have relevant conversion in place.
