Definition

public override System.Web.Services.Protocols.LogicalMethodInfo MethodInfo { get; }

Property Value

A LogicalMethodInfo representing the XML Web service method for which the SOAP request is intended.

Examples

The following code fragment is part of a SOAP extension that logs the SOAP messages sent and received by an XML Web service client. This particular fragment outputs to that log file the name of the proxy class method invoked by the client.

newStream.Position = 0;
FileStream myFileStream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Append,
   FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter myStreamWriter = new StreamWriter(myFileStream);
myStreamWriter.WriteLine(
   "================================== Request at "
   + DateTime.Now);

// Print to the log file the request header field for SoapAction header.
myStreamWriter.WriteLine("The SoapAction Http request header field is: ");
myStreamWriter.WriteLine("\t" + message.Action);

// Print to the log file the type of the client that invoked
// the XML Web service method.
myStreamWriter.WriteLine("The type of the client is: ");
if((message.Client.GetType()).Equals(typeof(MathSvc)))
   myStreamWriter.WriteLine("\tMathSvc");

// Print to the log file the method invoked by the client.
myStreamWriter.WriteLine(
   "The method that has been invoked by the client is:");
myStreamWriter.WriteLine("\t" + message.MethodInfo.Name);

// Print to the log file if the method invoked is OneWay.
if(message.OneWay)
   myStreamWriter.WriteLine(
     "The client doesn't wait for the server to finish processing");
else
   myStreamWriter.WriteLine(
     "The client waits for the server to finish processing");

// Print to the log file the URL of the site that provides
// implementation of the method.
myStreamWriter.WriteLine(
   "The URL of the XML Web service method that has been requested is: ");
myStreamWriter.WriteLine("\t" + message.Url);
myStreamWriter.WriteLine("The contents of the SOAP envelope are: ");
myStreamWriter.Flush();

// Copy the contents of one stream to another.
Copy(newStream, myFileStream);
myFileStream.Close();
newStream.Position = 0;

// Copy the contents of one stream to another.
Copy(newStream, oldStream);

Remarks

Although the MethodInfo property can be accessed during any stage, the method information is only available during AfterDeserialize and BeforeSerialize.
