See more:

string msdg = "{"EventTimestamp":"2018-06-08 00:11:26,070", "Level":"INFO", "RouteId":"PubSubV2DistRoute",   
"ActivityTimestamp":"2018-06-07T23:13:50.363097Z", "SrcSys":"", "ShrActNr":"W0980X", "DtnCnyCd":"DE", "DtnFacMnm":"DESCK", "DtnSlicNr":"0445", "OrgCnyCd":"JP", "OrgFacMnm":"JPSHN", "OrgSlicNr":"1063", "IntSvcTypCd":"004", "ExtSvcTypCd":"012", "Message":"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>"}

What I have tried:

I want to extract that xml message from the following string?

Thanks in advance.

xml message? I see nothing related with xml data instead of "xml header" (declaration)...

Lots of escape characters needed for that string! Plus a missing closing quote and semi-colon.

Either:

string msdg = "{\"EventTimestamp\":\"2018-06-08 00:11:26,070\", \"Level\":\"INFO\", \"RouteId\":\"PubSubV2DistRoute\",   
\"ActivityTimestamp\":\"2018-06-07T23:13:50.363097Z\", \"SrcSys\":\"\", \"ShrActNr\":\"W0980X\", \"DtnCnyCd\":\"DE\", \"DtnFacMnm\":\"DESCK\", \"DtnSlicNr\":\"0445\", \"OrgCnyCd\":\"JP\", \"OrgFacMnm\":\"JPSHN\", \"OrgSlicNr\":\"1063\", \"IntSvcTypCd\":\"004\", \"ExtSvcTypCd\":\"012\", \"Message\":\"<?xml version=\\\"1.0\\\" encoding=\\\"UTF-8\\\" standalone=\\\"yes\\\"?>\"}";

Or:

string msdg = @"{""EventTimestamp"":""2018-06-08 00:11:26,070"", ""Level"":""INFO"", ""RouteId"":""PubSubV2DistRoute"",   
""ActivityTimestamp"":""2018-06-07T23:13:50.363097Z"", ""SrcSys"":"""", ""ShrActNr"":""W0980X"", ""DtnCnyCd"":""DE"", ""DtnFacMnm"":""DESCK"", ""DtnSlicNr"":""0445"", ""OrgCnyCd"":""JP"", ""OrgFacMnm"":""JPSHN"", ""OrgSlicNr"":""1063"", ""IntSvcTypCd"":""004"", ""ExtSvcTypCd"":""012"", ""Message"":""<?xml version=\""1.0\"" encoding=\""UTF-8\"" standalone=\""yes\""?>""}";

First of all, that code won't compile as it is, even if you manage to have it compiled — by adding a @ at the beginning of string — you would need to just call the property Message and get everything you need. What was too difficult in that?

C#

dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(msdg);

if(obj != null && obj.Message != null) {
    var xml = obj.Message;
    // use xml
}

I have an article that covers how to process JSON data in C# using JSON.NET library, please take a look at that article, From zero to hero in JSON with C#[^].
