How to check the MSMQ messagebody is valid or not

Question

Hi,

Iam new to .Net and working on MSMQ

I want to check whether the body of a message receives is valid or not , so I am doing a validation " msmqMessage.Body == null " , but this throws exception . I also found that the bodytype is 0 when this happens other wise it will be 768

So is it ok to check whether the bodytype ==0 for invalid message .

I dont know what does 0 and 768 stands for , from where i can get differnt values for bodytype and what does it represent?

Answer 1

I suspect you set 'BodyType' yourself (from the other side).

What constitutes 'valid' for you? Is it that the object is of a specific type? perhaps check for that.

Who else is writing objects to your queue, and what type are they?
