I am using .net 4.0.
The message i have is in string format suppose
string message = "Test";
I am using writebytes method like
mq.WriteBytes(message);
the message that i see on Mq is "T.e.s.t"
a special character with hex value '00' is being added after every character. |

What is the CCSID of the message?

And you're answering a question I did not ask...

You have different codepages on Windows and MQ. You need to find out about them. A dot means "there is a byte (8 bits  )". Look into Hex to find out more.
I use RFH-Util or ultraedit.
Codepage (conversion) etc can become painful.
I guess Windows writes UTF-16 (hence 16 bit, while one byte is empty for normal characters) and MQ interprets it as UTF-8 (hence an "empty byte" - zeros!)

Yes i can see '00' after each character when seen in hex format.
The conclusion is i should use "UTF-8" instead of "UTF-16" which is default for .net |

If you live in Europe or the USA use UTF-8. If you live in Asia use UTF-16
.NET uses UTF-16 because it is world-wide... (probably you should not change it :-/)
Anyway... there also have been people thinking that they have codepage problems, but they actually didn't !
Some tools just always display the bytes (8 bit), eventhough single "displayable" characters consist of 16 bit (e.g. for UTF-16). E.g. RFH-Util always displays bytes (and the character for it, I guess it is always 8-bit american ASCII ?!).
I am not sure if MQ should display anything else there. Probably everything is fine with the way the bytes are displayed at {whereever you are looking there } !?!

Consult the documentation for MQMessage to determine the difference between WriteBytes(), WriteChars(), and WriteString(), and their relation to the CharacterSet (ccsid) property.

What a Windows application writes depends on which methods and properties it uses; what MQ interprets depends on the resulting MQ headers. |
