See section 2.8 of the RabbitMQ .Net Client  Library User Guide:

Another alternative is to subclass DefaultBasicConsumer, overriding 
methods as necessary, or implement IBasicConsumer directly. You will 
generally want to implement the core method HandleBasicDeliver.

Make sure to also read the section after that on "Threading, deadlocks, 
and associated restrictions on consumers".
