Answer 1

Here is the complete code to deserialize from the brokeredmessage:

public T GetBody(BrokeredMessage brokeredMessage)
{
  var ct = brokeredMessage.ContentType;
  Type bodyType = Type.GetType(ct, true);

  var stream = brokeredMessage.GetBody();
  DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(bodyType);
  XmlDictionaryReader reader = XmlDictionaryReader.CreateBinaryReader(stream, XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max);
  object deserializedBody = serializer.ReadObject(reader);
  T msgBase = (T)deserializedBody;
  return msgBase;
}
