[SOLVED] Messages not getting picked up from a queue having underscore in its name

Messages not getting picked up from a queue having underscore in its name

I have a WCF service QueuedService.TicketingService.svc hosted in IIS under application name QueuedService_1_1. So the complete URL for the service is:

http://example.com/QueuedService_1_1/QueuedService.TicketingService.svc

The service is having a net.msmq endpoint :

<endpoint address="net.msmq://example.com/private/QueuedService_1_1/QueuedService.TicketingService.svc"
          binding="netMsmqBinding" 
          bindingConfiguration="MsmqBindingTransactional" 
          contract="QueuedService.ITicketingService" />

I have created a queue in MSMQ named:

QueuedService_1_1/QueuedService.TicketingService.svc

When I call this service, the messages are getting delivered to the queue, but not getting picked up by the service. When I hit the service URL in the browser, the messages get picked by the service.

Is the problem with the naming i.e. _1_1 in the IIS application name and the queue name? Because when I host the same service without _1_1 i.e. QueuedService in IIS and queue named QueuedService/QueuedService.TicketingService.svc, it works.

Solution

Not sure it will work but try - instead of _.

See MSDN.
