  [in]           WS_TYPE        valueType,
  [in]           WS_READ_OPTION readOption,
  [in, optional] WS_HEAP        *heap,
                 void           *value,

[in] message

The message containing the header.

The heap to store the deserialized header data in. If this is NULL, then the message heap will be used.

value

The interpretation of this parameter depends on the WS_READ_OPTION.

The interpretation of this parameter depends on the WS_READ_OPTION.

[in, optional] error

Specifies where additional error information should be stored if the function fails.

This API provides access to a set of standard header types (see WS_HEADER_TYPE). For application defined header types, use WsGetCustomHeader.
