On the MQReceiveCompleted method below, I get an error "Name cannot begin
with the '.' character, hexadecimal value 0x00. Line 1, position 40."..
This data is XML that I'm putting into this queue.

//format of message will be XML

mq.Formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[] { typeof(String) });
//vs..

private static void MQReceiveCompleted(Object source,
ReceiveCompletedEventArgs asyncResult)

//connect to the queue.

//end the asynchronous Receive operation.
System.Messaging.Message m = mq.EndReceive(asyncResult.AsyncResult);

}

I think I know the problem, when I write it to the queue, I'm using VBS and
I noticed in the queue the data is in Unicode. So how do I get it to write
as ASCII?

I vaguely recall having to use a BinaryFormatter when reading queue
items inserted by another language. You can try that and just get the
message body as a string.

For what it is worth I believe you mean the ActiveXFormatter, which should be
used when receiving messages sent by non .Net applications, for exmaple VB6
applications.
