Namespace: System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property Formatter As IDispatchMessageFormatter
public IDispatchMessageFormatter Formatter { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.IDispatchMessageFormatter
An IDispatchMessageFormatter implementation.
Remarks
Use the Formatter property to insert a custom IDispatchMessageFormatter implementation for an operation or to modify the current formatter. In the case of strongly-typed message operations, the use of the formatter can be controlled by the SerializeReply and DeserializeRequest properties.
The IDispatchMessageFormatter interface defines the SerializeReply, which converts a set of object parameters to a message, and DeserializeRequest, which converts a message to a set of return values.
