c# Constructor Action from Interface (NServiceBus)

Question

I have this code, which works well,

void Message(IMessage m)
{
    m.MyProperty = "Some Value";
}
await context.Publish<IMessage>(Message).ConfigureAwait(false);

I have a contract (IMessage) and create a constructor for an action that is to be published.

But I want to be able to create the action from a string. I.e. from this starting point,

var messageType = "IMessage";

I want to be able to send the same message as above.

This may not be the best way to do what I want to do, but it would be really interesting if it can be done.

Have you looked at Activator.CreateInstanceFrom() ? Althouigh I don't think that will work with Interfaces — Janus Pienaar, Jul 11 '18 at 09:06
_endpointInstance.Send<_messageType>(messageConstructor: message => { message.Prop = "some text"; }); — Nick, Aug 01 '18 at 09:55

Seems like NServiceBus RAW might be a good fit for this. Not sure what you are up to but that allows you do define your own payload:

The messaging is working correctly. It's more a question about creating the messages dynamically from the contract interface. – Nick Jul 12 '18 at 10:54
