Examples

The following code example shows how to use the members in the SoapMethodAttribute class to customize SOAP generation and processing for a method.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Runtime.Remoting.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Metadata;

namespace ExampleNamespace
{
   public ref class ExampleClass
   {

         ResponseXmlElementName="ExampleResponseElement",
         ResponseXmlNamespace=
         "http://example.org/MethodResponseXmlNamespace",
         ReturnXmlElementName="HelloMessage",
         SoapAction="http://example.org/ExampleSoapAction#GetHello",
         XmlNamespace="http://example.org/MethodCallXmlNamespace")]
      String^ GetHello( String^ name )
      {
         return String::Format( L"Hello, {0}", name );
      }
   };

}

int main()
{
   
   // Get the method info object for the GetHello method.
   System::Reflection::MethodBase^ getHelloMethod = 
      ExampleNamespace::ExampleClass::typeid->GetMethod( L"GetHello" );
   
   // Print the XML namespace for the invocation of this method.
   String^ methodCallXmlNamespace =
      System::Runtime::Remoting::SoapServices::GetXmlNamespaceForMethodCall(
         getHelloMethod );
   Console::WriteLine( L"The XML namespace for the response of the method "
         L"GetHello in ExampleClass is {0}.", methodCallXmlNamespace );

Remarks

The target objects for the SoapMethodAttribute attribute are methods that can be remotely invoked. Apply the SoapMethodAttribute to customize SOAP generation and processing. Properties of this attribute allow the programmer to customize the SOAPAction HTTP header field to indicate the intent of the SOAP HTTP request.

Constructors

SoapMethodAttribute()

Creates an instance of SoapMethodAttribute.

Fields

ProtXmlNamespace	The XML namespace to which the target of the current SOAP attribute is serialized. (Inherited from SoapAttribute)
ReflectInfo	A reflection object used by attribute classes derived from the SoapAttribute class to set XML serialization information. (Inherited from SoapAttribute)

Properties

Embedded	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the type must be nested during SOAP serialization. (Inherited from SoapAttribute)
ResponseXmlElementName	Gets or sets the XML element name to use for the method response to the target method.
ResponseXmlNamespace	Gets or sets the XML element namespace used for method response to the target method.
ReturnXmlElementName	Gets or sets the XML element name used for the return value from the target method.
SoapAction	Gets or sets the SOAPAction header field used with HTTP requests sent with this method. This property is currently not implemented.
TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
UseAttribute	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the target of the current attribute will be serialized as an XML attribute instead of an XML field.
XmlNamespace	Gets or sets the XML namespace that is used during serialization of remote method calls of the target method.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute)
Match(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute)
