c# - Quickfix/n, most efficient way to extract message Type? -

what efficient way in quickfix/n 1.4 extract message type defined here: http://www.fixprotocol.org/fiximate3.0/en/fix.5.0sp2/messages_sorted_by_type.html

i use var msgtype = message.getmsgtype(message.tostring()); results in "a" logon message. there better way? try determine message type within toadmin(...) in order catch outgoing logon request message can add username , password.

i love through messagecracker far have not found way implement catch-all-remaining message types in case have not implemented onmessage overloads. (please see related question: quickfix, there "catch-all" method onmessage handle incoming messages not handled overloaded methods?).

thanks

not title question, key part of it:

i try determine message type within toadmin(...) in order catch outgoing logon request message can add username , password.

here's blob of code pretty nails (taken post qf/n mailing list):

    public void toadmin(message message, sessionid sessionid)     {         // check message type         if (message.header.getfield(tags.msgtype) == msgtype.logon)         {             // yes logon message             // check if local variables yourusername , yourpassword set             if (!string.isnullorempty(yourusername) && !string.isnullorempty(yourpassword))             {                 // add username , password fields logon message                 ((logon) message).set(new username(yourusername));                 ((logon) message).set(new password(yourpassword));             }         }     }
