{{Quickfixn}} Custom Messages

Field tag 35 is part of the header of the message so you need m.Header.SetField(new StringField(35,'U1'))

There are other required fields that need to be present in the header (SenderCompId, TargetCompId, etc.) I'm not sure what the Message() ctor actually sets.

Subject: {{Quickfixn}} Custom Messages

I am trying to generate a custom message as follows:

           Message m = new Message();
            m.Header.SetField(new BeginString("FIX.4.4"));
            m.SetField(new StringField(35, "U1"));
            m.SetField(new StringField(1, account));
            m.SetField(new StringField(20011, _accountDetailsReqID.ToString()));
            _accountDetailsReqID++;
            SetTradeHeader(m.Header);

            QuickFix.Session.SendToTarget(m);

The message m, just before sending, is:

message = {8=FIX.4.4|9=61|49=QM2013xxxx-T|56=CITIFX|57=FXSpot|1=88103260|35=U1|20011=1|10=079}

The attempt to send the message results in an exception in SendRaw->message.Header.GetField(Fields.Tags.MsgType)

Inside GetField, I see that _fields is incorrect. In particular, 35 is not present. In fact, the list of _fields is

8, 9, 49, 56, 57

Why is _fields incorrect here?

I then spent half a day trying to install ruby and nokogiri. I cannot get past the error "libxml2 not present". There is no helpful information on the web that I can find, and the Nokogiri site says that installing on windows is so difficult,
they have provided the install so that "gem install nokogiri"  "just works". My installation passed the DevKit check with jason.

I seem to be blocked at every step here.
