Question

I hope this is not an idiot question… my brain is so full of new stuff it hurts.

I’m attempting to get to know NServiceBus a little better.

My message classes look like this:

public class Address // value object
    {
        public readonly string AddressLine1;
        public readonly string AddressLine2;
        public readonly string AddressLine3;
        public readonly string City;
        public readonly string Country;
        public readonly string PostCode;

        public Address(string addressLine1,
                       string addressLine2,
                       string addressLine3,
                       string city,
                       string country,
                       string postCode)
        {
            AddressLine1 = addressLine1;
            AddressLine2 = addressLine2;
            AddressLine3 = addressLine3;
            City = city;
            Country = country;
            PostCode = postCode;
        }
    }

Problem is NServiceBus serializer cannot deal with it (understandably so) and i end up having to revert to auto properties. I can live with it for this learning exercise… but is there a way to use the message class above?

I thought I would ask instead of delving into NServiceBus source code. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure it’ll work if you expose get/private set properties rather than fields.
