WS_WRITE_TYPE_CALLBACK callback function (webservices.h)

Invoked to write an element when WS_CUSTOM_TYPE has been specified. This allows writing of XML constructs which do not easily map to the core serialization model.

Syntax

WS_WRITE_TYPE_CALLBACK WsWriteTypeCallback;

HRESULT WsWriteTypeCallback(
  [in]           WS_XML_WRITER *writer,
  [in]           WS_TYPE_MAPPING typeMapping,
  [in]           const void *descriptionData,
                 const void *value,
  [in]           ULONG valueSize,
  [in, optional] WS_ERROR *error
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] writer

A WS_XML_WRITER pointer to the writer that the value should be written to.

[in] typeMapping

Indicates how the XML is being mapped to this type. See WS_TYPE_MAPPING for more information.

If a mapping does not make sense for this particular type, the callback should return WS_E_INVALID_OPERATION. (See Windows Web Services Return Values.) A callback implementation should be prepared to be passed new mapping types in future versions and should return WS_E_INVALID_OPERATION for those cases.

[in] descriptionData

This is the value of the descriptionData field of the WS_CUSTOM_TYPE_DESCRIPTION structure. The callback uses this field to access any additional information about the type.

value

A void pointer to a value to serialize.

[in] valueSize

The size, in bytes, of the value being serialized.

[in, optional] error

A pointer to a WS_ERROR data structure where additional error information should be stored if the function fails.

Return value

This callback function does not return a value.

Remarks

The callback will be invoked with the same calling sequence as WsWriteType in the documentation for WS_TYPE_MAPPING. This defines what parts of the XML that the callback should write.
