Message Queue Error: cannot find a formatter capable of reading message

Question

I\'m writing messages to a Message Queue in C# as follows:

queue.Send(new Message(\"message\"));

I\'m trying to read the messages as follow

Answer 1

This worked for me to read a private queue from a remote machine:

MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(@"FormatName:Direct=OS:MACHINENAME\private$\MyQueueName", QueueAccessMode.Peek);

Message msg = queue.Peek();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(msg.BodyStream);
string messageBody = sr.ReadToEnd();

Don't use Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ). Just don't. It is both deprecated, and bottom of the pile in terms of anything useful, performant or even remotely well designed.
