[rabbitmq-discuss] how to send a message including a array via .net client?

Hi Chen,

If your message producers and consumers are both .net then you may use 
any of the built-in .net serialisers.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ay27kt9.aspx

If you are in a mixed language environment then a format like YAML, 
JSON, protocol buffers or perhaps XML makes more sense.

The .net client supports byte arrays for message payloads as required by 
the AMQP 0.9.1 spec.

There is no need to use base64. Base64 would only be required if the 
payload needed to be 7bit clean.
