Retrieving a Struct from MSMQ and convert it back to struct format in C++

Question

I have pushed a custom struct into MSMQ using MQSendMessage API and also I am successfully able to retrieve the message from the queue using MQReceiveMessage API. But the information is available in buffer of type UCHAR *(unsigned char *). I want to convert back the buffer to struct format and read the values. Any suggestion on how to do it??

Specifically designed for such scenarios ProtBuff This is serialization and pretty useful for sending information over the network

Thanks!! It looks like Protocol buffer is mainly used for serialized messages. But my requirement is to push Serialized data as well as File with huge size. Also I need to persist the data locally to make sure even if the Receiver machine is down, I can still get my data without any loss. – dev001 Dec 11 '18 at 06:58
