Hi all

I use C# to read messages from msmq queue.
When I knew that it is writing in c# I can read it.
When I knew that it is writing in VB6 I can read it.
How can I know in which format the message is writing?

Moti.

Moti,

You should only be writing one type of message to the queue. The way
queues are set up, they are pretty much application specific, and the format
of the messages running through them should be well-defined.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas

My queue get messages from VB6 and from C#, there are well-defined, but
if you send a message in vb6, you have to Transleate the msg body string to
UTF8.
Can I have a way to know from which type (vb6 or c#) I receive the message?
I try know the by using the mess.Body string format? (how?)
Is that the way? Is there are a better way?

Moti,

If the original application is VB, then you should set the Formatter
property on the MessageQueue class to an instance of the
ActiveXMessageFormatter class. This should translate the messages from VB
correctly.

You can try reading vb6 format then catch the exception if the message
is not in vb6 format then read it in c# format.
