Unconventional ways to send messages to MSMQ.

[Chris Slocum]

I am still a bit new to using MassTransit but I have been researching this topic for a few weeks now and have not come close to finding an answer so I thought maybe I would ask the experts.  The task I am trying to accomplish is to be able to use the command line or a command line utility (MSMQ Management Console) to send a message to a MSMQ queue.  I then have a consumer of that queue written in C# which is utilizing MassTransit to read and process the message.  If I publish a message from the C# program, the message can be easily consumed by my MSMQ.  However, I have noticed upon careful inspection that the message is published with a message body and a message extension.  When I try to publish (send) the same message from the MSMQ Management Console, it cant be processed because its missing the extension.  So my question is... Is there a way to publish a message which is consumable by a MassTransit consumer which does not require the extension?  Below is a sample of my message body and further below, the message extension.  Any help on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Message Extension

{"Content-Type":"application/vnd.masstransit+xml"}

You could write a simple C# program to 'send' the messages into the application.

Hi Dru! Thanks so much for your reply. I would love to write the send function in C# but the business group won't allow any new programs deployed on the app servers so its either command line or bust :(

Thanks,
Chris

Use Json as your default message serializer and it might work without the extension.
