XmlReflectionImporter Class

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Generates mappings to XML schema element declarations, including literal XML Schema Definition (XSD) message parts in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document for .NET Framework types or Web service method information.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	ImportMembersMapping(String, String, array<XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean)	Generates internal type mappings for information from a Web service method.
	ImportMembersMapping(String, String, array<XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean, Boolean)	Returns internal type mappings using information from a Web service method and allows you to specify an XML element name, XML namespace, and other options.
	ImportMembersMapping(String, String, array<XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean, Boolean, Boolean)	Returns internal type mappings using information from a Web service method and allows you to specify an XML element name, XML namespace, and other options.
	ImportMembersMapping(String, String, array<XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, XmlMappingAccess)	Generates internal type mappings for information from a Web service method.
	ImportTypeMapping(Type)	Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a specified .NET Framework type.
	ImportTypeMapping(Type, String)	Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET Framework type, using the specified type and namespace.
	ImportTypeMapping(Type, XmlRootAttribute)	Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET Framework type, using the specified type and attribute.
	ImportTypeMapping(Type, XmlRootAttribute, String)	Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET Framework type, using the specified type, attribute, and namespace.
	IncludeType	Includes mappings for a type for later use when import methods are invoked.
	IncludeTypes	Includes mappings for derived types for later use when import methods are invoked.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The XmlReflectionImporter class is not used directly. Instead, it is used as follows:

By the ServiceDescriptionReflector class while it creates ServiceDescription objects from classes that are identified as Web services.
By a Web service or client, including during initialization.
To initialize an XmlSerializer object.
By the XML Schema Definition tool (Xsd.exe) while the tool generates XML schemas from types in a run-time assembly file.
By the Web Services Description Language tool (Wsdl.exe) while the tool generates client proxy classes or abstract server classes from a WSDL document.

The XmlReflectionImporter class is used for Web services when a service or client specifies:

Literal use, which indicates that the contents of SOAP message parameters and return values (or request and response documents) are literally specified with XML schema definitions.
Non-SOAP implementations of Web services using the HTTP-GET and HTTP-POST operations.
