To send the list, you may just do:

queue.Send(list);

To receive the list, use this:

queue.Formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[]{typeof(List<T>)}); //Replace T with the type your list holds
Message message = queue.Receive();
List<T> list = (List<T>)message.Body;

When the message is sent, the object is formatted using XML. So, when receiving, you must specify that the queue uses a XML formatter with whatever type of list you have. Then, after receiving, the message's body must be casted to the list of the proper type.

  • @user3063679 Are you going to mark it as best answer? Stack Overflow guidelines say not to just leave a post after it is answered, and instead mark the best answer. – Nolan Apr 03 '18 at 23:21
