You can read the Performance Counter value for the queue directly from .NET:

using System.Diagnostics;  // ... var queueCounter = new PerformanceCounter( "MSMQ Queue", "Messages in Queue", @"machinename\private$\testqueue2");  Console.WriteLine( "Queue contains {0} messages",      queueCounter.NextValue().ToString());

Otherwise, you can see the queues in the server manager under Machine Name--> Features-->Private-->search your queue name.
