RE: [Quickfix-developers] Message.getHeader

[Shepheard, T. (London) <Tob...@ml...>]

Shankar,

I'd suggest you use the more type-safe method recommended in the
documentation
(http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/receiving_messages.html
)
=20
This takes the following form:
using QuickFix;

public void fromApp(Message message, SessionID sessionID)
{
  crack(message, sessionID);
}

public override void onMessage(QuickFix42.NewOrderSingle message,
QuickFix.SessionID sessionID)
{
  ClOrdID clOrdID =3D new ClOrdID;
  message.get(clOrdID);

  ClearingAccount clearingAccount =3D new ClearingAccount();
  message.get(clearingAccount);
}

public override void onMessage(QuickFix42.OrderCancelRequest message,
QuickFix.SessionID sessionID)
{
  ClOrdID clOrdID =3D new ClOrdID;
  message.get(clOrdID);

  // compile time error!! field not defined for OrderCancelRequest
  ClearingAccount clearingAccount =3D new ClearingAccount();
  message.get(clearingAccount);
}
=20
All you need to do is add your own onMessage method that takes an
execution report message type and the sessionId, and then handle it from
there.=20
I guess its a case of do as they say, not as they do :)
=20
However, to address the original question - looks like you've got a
capital M here in Message that you need to make lowercase to get the
message instance:
If(Message.getHeader().getField(msgType) =3D=3D =
MsgType.EXECUTION_REPORT) {
=20
As a general note, if you get compile errors it is often helpful to
include them in any mails along with your code snippets (ditto with logs
for runtime issues).
=20
Hope that helps you.

	Hate to ask you this.

	=20

	I am trying to extract out the message Type value in the header
to check if I am receiving a execution report.

	The following seems to fail on compiling. I did this by looking
at the java example.

	Which goes like :

	=20

	  public void run() {

	            try {

	                MsgType msgType =3D new MsgType();

=09
if(message.getHeader().getField(msgType).valueEquals("8"))

	                    executionReport(message, sessionID);

=09
if(message.getHeader().getField(msgType).valueEquals("9"))

	                    cancelReject(message, sessionID);

	            } catch(FieldNotFound e) {

	                System.out.println(e);

	            }

	        }

	=20

	-        I am trying to do this in C sharp.

	=20

	I have

	=20

	      public void fromApp(Message message,SessionID sessionID)=20

	      {

	=20

	    MsgType msgType =3D new MsgType();

	          If(Message.getHeader().getField(msgType) =3D=3D
MsgType.EXECUTION_REPORT) {

	=20

	          }

	      }

	=20

	=20

	Should not this work.

	Tks
