This code ideally has to operate with C# code on the other side of the socket that uses the DeserializeWithLengthPrefix() method call. The message originates in C++ environment on a linux box and terminates in C# environment on a windows PC. Why doesn't C++ support the same methods as C#? The only document that I've seen that has list of methods available is the message.h header file, installed into my Linux usr directory.
