MSMQ Formatter and XmlMessageFormatter

[Chizl]

On the MQReceiveComple ted method below, I get an error "Name cannot begin
with the '.' character, hexadecimal value 0x00. Line 1, position 40."..
This data is XML that I'm putting into this queue.
---------
<?xml version=""1.0""
encoding=""utf-8""?><DATA><FIE LD1>CHIZL</FIELD1><FIELD2> DA
MAN</FIELD2></DATA>
---------

Methods
---------------------
public void SetupMSMQ()
{
String szMQPath = @".\private$\Te stQueue";

if (!MessageQueue. Exists(szMQPath ))
MessageQueue.Cr eate(szMQPath);

//setup MQ Request Path
MessageQueue mq = new MessageQueue(sz MQPath);
//format of message will be XML

mq.Formatter = new XmlMessageForma tter(new Type[] { typeof(String) });
//vs..
//((XmlMessageFor matter)mq.Forma tter).TargetTyp eNames = new string[] {
"Data" };

//setup async call
mq.ReceiveCompl eted += new
ReceiveComplete dEventHandler(M QReceiveComplet ed);
//callback ready
mq.BeginReceive ();

...
...
}


private static void MQReceiveComple ted(Object source,
ReceiveComplete dEventArgs asyncResult)
{
//connect to the queue.
MessageQueue mq = (MessageQueue)s ource;
//end the asynchronous Receive operation.
System.Messagin g.Message m = mq.EndReceive(a syncResult.Asyn cResult);
//display message information on the screen.
String szXML = (String)m.Body; //Fails
....
}

Re: MSMQ Formatter and XmlMessageForma tter

I vaguely recall having to use a BinaryFormatter when reading queue
items inserted by another language. You can try that and just get the
message body as a string.

Re: MSMQ Formatter and XmlMessageForma tter

For what it is worth I believe you mean the ActiveXFormatte r, which should be
used when receiving messages sent by non .Net applications, for exmaple VB6
applications.
