- NQueueStuffer - NQueueStuffer is an open source application created by Jan Ove Skogheim Olsen. Using his own words: "NQueueStuffer is a Windows Forms tool for generating and stuffing NServicebus messages on a queue. It lets the user choose an assembly and a messagetype that implements NServicebus.IMessage and generates a template message based on the messagetype. The user can then edit and stuff this message directly to a MSMQ queue." Excellent work!
