Will that byte array (buffer) be filled with bytes based on respective message types defined in DTC protocol?

How will I know I am at the beginning of a message? Based on my understanding, each message structure has Size and Type at its beginning, so I could technically use that information to read off remaining bytes from the array. This would assume that whatever message I receive is GUARANTEED to have size/type at the start of it and that I will receive a complete message. I would then also have to make a conversion of the received bytes for each particular C++ variable type in the structure to a corresponding type in C#. Similarly, using the above logic I could send messages by populating a byte buffer with appropriate bytes that would comprise a given message structure in DTC protocol and then send it over the socket.


Is this roughly how I should try to go about this? Thank you for assistance.
