Hi,
Yes, we can send object through message queue by using Formatter . consider this type:
            public class Order
            {
                public int orderId;
                public DateTime orderTime;
            }   
following code shows how to send an object of Order type and converts received message to correct type:
            // Creates a queue.
            string path = @".\myMSMQ";
            if (!MessageQueue.Exists(path))
            {
                MessageQueue.Create(path);
            }

            // Sender sends the messge.
            MessageQueue sendQueue = new MessageQueue(path);
            Order order = new Order();
            order.orderId = 10;
            order.orderTime = new DateTime(2000, 10, 10);
            sendQueue.Send(order);


            // Receiver receives the message, and Formatter helps to convert the message body to your type.
            MessageQueue receiveQueue = new MessageQueue(path);
            receiveQueue.Formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[] { typeof(Order) });
            System.Messaging.Message message = receiveQueue.Receive();
            Order myOrder = message.Body as Order;

Thanks,
Eric
