MQSeries.net :: View topic - Use of MQSERVER environment variable in .Net apps

Hi
I am new to this MQSeries programming world. I am trying to interface a Vb.Net app with MQSeries.
Our organization has been running this MQSeries interface using another OO language.

I am using the support pac from IBM i.e the Websphere classes for .Net.
The following is how i create an instance of the MQQueueManager

imports IBM.wmq

Dim mqQMgr As MQQueueManager

mqQMgr = New MQQueueManager(MQ_QUEUE_MANAGER, MQ_CHANNEL_NAME, MQ_SERVER_NAME)

This gives an exception if i dont create the MQSERVER environment variable. Do i always need to create the MQSERVER environment variable?
My QSeries error log has the following error in it.

AMQ9498: The MQCD structure supplied was not valid.

EXPLANATION:
The value of the 'Version' field has the value '7'. This value is invalid for
the operation requested.
ACTION:
Change the parameter and retry the operation.

As the error says the MQCD structure is not valid. How do i pass the MQCD structure. The MqChannelDefinition class seems to be private to IBM.WMQ .

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks!
