MSMQ management tool

I have developed a MSMQ management tool called IMQT together with a colleauge Tomas Wallin. It all started when I developed another software and I needed some kind of test tool to send, read and manipulate messages in MSMQ. I thought that if I wanted this tool other developers/testers also wanted one. So I involved Tomas and we used our nights and weekends to write this software. The tool started to grow and then we wanted to try to make a more complete MSQM management product. All most needed functionality for MSMQ management is implemented. You can manage queues and messages. Search for text in messages and compare XML. Try it for yourself. Download the software here.

The tool is free to use. The only constraint we have is that you give us feedback if there are any functionality you need/want, if there are any changes you need/want and if there are any bugs.

So try it out. We hope you enjoy it. Please contact me if there is anyting...

The tool only works on Windows XP and above and we use .NET 2.0. You got a help-file included in the tool but it need some updates.

Great Tool so far. I have looked at many of these tools and one thing they are Missing is the ability to read the journal messages.

Since the queues should generally be empty unless some service is stopped not being able to see the journals is very limiting. In .NET just add ";JOURNAL" to the end of a queue format name and you can read the journal just like any other queue.
