Re: [Quickfix-developers] Just Starting...

I went through the executor project
(http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/csharp/application_2.html) 
but I can't see how this is beneficial to me.  

I have this in my code write now:

ThreadedSocketInitiator _initiator = null;
        public void Start()
        {
            if (_initiator != null)
                throw new Exception("Already Started");

            SessionSettings settings = new
SessionSettings("FixSettings.txt");
            Application application = new QFWrapper(this);
            FileStoreFactory storeFactory = new FileStoreFactory(settings);
            FileLogFactory logFactory = new FileLogFactory(settings);
            MessageFactory messageFactory = new DefaultMessageFactory();
            _initiator = new ThreadedSocketInitiator(application,
storeFactory, settings, logFactory, messageFactory);
            _initiator.start();
        }


I have a qfwrapper class that is a nested class inside of a FixServer class. 
QFWrapper inherits from MessageCracker and implements the QF Interface
methods.  The FIXServer class is the class that contains the start, stop and
all the delegates I will need in order to function with a windows form.  

I can now communicate with our brokerage company, but the problem is in
dissecting the messages that come back from the FIX Server.  How do I (or
where do I) take the message apart to realize what type of message it
is...so I can then write all the various handling methods for the many
different types of messages that we might expect from the Server.

I imagine I will need to capture the message (in order to dissect it and run
my own business logic) in the fromApp function.  But I have no idea how to
do any of the FIX Message 'surgery', so to speak. 

Can someone help shed some light on this?

thanks!
