We are using MSMQ messaging queues for communication between a 
BC++ app and a VS.Net app.  VS allows for some variation in the 
serialization methods for the data payload of the transmitted 
message, but its default (XML) is the easiest to work with for 
VS-to-BC messages.  The message payload read in BC is a 
standard XML document and that is easily handled for the 
content we are using.

Our problem is the reverse direction.  The available C++ 
methods for MQ don't allow any control over the serialization 
that I can find.  I tried home-grown XML formatting, but neither the XML Formatter nor Binary Formatter of VS will recognize any payload formatting that BC is applying.

Any suggestions on what we can do on either end to get the 
message through?
