  [in]           const WS_ATTRIBUTE_DESCRIPTION *attributeDescription,
  [in]           WS_WRITE_OPTION                writeOption,
                 const void                     *value,

);

Parameters

[in] writer

The writer to write the attribute to.

[in] writeOption

Information about how the value is allocated. See WS_WRITE_OPTION for more information.

A pointer to the value to serialize.

[in] valueSize

The size of the value being serialized, in bytes.

If the value is NULL, then the size should be 0.

WS_E_INVALID_FORMAT
 The input data was not in the expected format or did not have the expected value.
E_INVALIDARG
 One or more arguments are invalid.

Remarks

This API writes the start attribute, attribute value, and end attribute.
