# clsLoggingQueues

`clsLoggingQueues` is a configuration-driven helper that formats an MSMQ queue path-name string for hosting applications. It does not open or write to a queue itself.

## Purpose
- Resolve the MSMQ queue server and queue name from application configuration and format them into a full MSMQ path-name string.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Framework.Logging`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.BOF.Framework.Logging` (`SAIF.Framework.Logging/SAIF.BOF.Framework.Logging.vbproj`)
- Class has Shared (static) members only.

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `QueueServer` | `Shared ReadOnly Property QueueServer As String` | Reads the `"QueueServer"` `AppSettings` key, falling back to the default `"MQPROD"` (see [BR-007](../../business-rules.md#br-007-queue-nameserver-resolution-falls-back-to-hard-coded-defaults)). |
| `QueueName` | `Shared ReadOnly Property QueueName As String` | Reads the `"QueueName"` `AppSettings` key, falling back to the default `"logging"` (see [BR-007](../../business-rules.md#br-007-queue-nameserver-resolution-falls-back-to-hard-coded-defaults)). |
| `GetQueueName` | `Shared Function GetQueueName() As String` | Formats and returns `FormatName:DIRECT=OS:{server}\{queue}` using `QueueServer` and `QueueName`. |

## Behavioral notes
- Reads configuration via `System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item(...)` for the `"QueueServer"` and `"QueueName"` keys.
- Never opens or writes to a `System.Messaging.MessageQueue`, despite `System.Messaging` being referenced in the project file — this class produces a path string only**.
- The actual MSMQ queue producer/consumer is presumably implemented elsewhere (a batch application or the `wsLogging` service itself), but this could not be confirmed from this library's source**.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Callers must perform their own queue I/O using the string returned by `GetQueueName()`; this class provides no queue connectivity.
- If the `"QueueServer"`/`"QueueName"` `AppSettings` keys are absent, the hard-coded defaults (`"MQPROD"`/`"logging"`) are used instead of raising an error.
