How can I determine if the queue I am using is local or remote by the name alone

I am using System.Messaging and I have a queue on my local machine.

The queue name is .\private$\dummyQueue

At first glance I can see that there is a period at the beginning of the name and have determined that it is a local queue. Is that a safe assumption to make? Is there a solid rule for determining if a queue is local or remote based on the name alone?

If only it were that simple. MSMQ uses a bunch of different ways to reference a queue, from GUIDs to format names (like your example). In your case a period is always shorthand for "local". This blog may help.
