WsdlImporter.ImportAllContracts Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.ServiceModel.Description

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.dll

Returns a set of ContractDescription objects that represent port type information in the metadata documents.

public:
 override System::Collections::ObjectModel::Collection<System::ServiceModel::Description::ContractDescription ^> ^ ImportAllContracts();

public override System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<System.ServiceModel.Description.ContractDescription> ImportAllContracts ();

override this.ImportAllContracts : unit -> System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<System.ServiceModel.Description.ContractDescription>

Public Overrides Function ImportAllContracts () As Collection(Of ContractDescription)

Returns

Collection<ContractDescription>

A set of ContractDescription objects that represent port type information in the metadata documents.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The WsdlImporter has encountered an error.

Examples

The following code example shows how to use the WsdlImporter to add a custom System.Runtime.Serialization.IDataContractSurrogate, import all contracts, and compile those contracts and save them to a file.

  static void GenerateCSCodeForService(EndpointAddress metadataAddress, string outputFile)
  {
MetadataExchangeClient mexClient = new MetadataExchangeClient(metadataAddress);
mexClient.ResolveMetadataReferences = true;
MetadataSet metaDocs = mexClient.GetMetadata();

      WsdlImporter importer = new WsdlImporter(metaDocs);
ServiceContractGenerator generator = new ServiceContractGenerator();

// Add our custom DCAnnotationSurrogate
// to write XSD annotations into the comments.
object dataContractImporter;
XsdDataContractImporter xsdDCImporter;
if (!importer.State.TryGetValue(typeof(XsdDataContractImporter), out dataContractImporter))
{
  Console.WriteLine("Couldn't find the XsdDataContractImporter! Adding custom importer.");
  xsdDCImporter = new XsdDataContractImporter();
  xsdDCImporter.Options = new ImportOptions();
  importer.State.Add(typeof(XsdDataContractImporter), xsdDCImporter);
}
else
{
  xsdDCImporter = (XsdDataContractImporter)dataContractImporter;
  if (xsdDCImporter.Options == null)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("There were no ImportOptions on the importer.");
    xsdDCImporter.Options = new ImportOptions();
  }
}
xsdDCImporter.Options.DataContractSurrogate = new DCAnnotationSurrogate();

// Uncomment the following code if you are going to do your work programmatically rather than add
// the WsdlDocumentationImporters through a configuration file.
/*
// The following code inserts a custom WsdlImporter without removing the other
// importers already in the collection.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IWsdlImportExtension> exts = importer.WsdlImportExtensions;
System.Collections.Generic.List<IWsdlImportExtension> newExts
  = new System.Collections.Generic.List<IWsdlImportExtension>();
foreach (IWsdlImportExtension ext in exts)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Default WSDL import extensions: {0}", ext.GetType().Name);
  newExts.Add(ext);
}
newExts.Add(new WsdlDocumentationImporter());
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IPolicyImportExtension> polExts = importer.PolicyImportExtensions;
importer = new WsdlImporter(metaDocs, polExts, newExts);
*/

System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<ContractDescription> contracts
  = importer.ImportAllContracts();
importer.ImportAllEndpoints();
      foreach (ContractDescription contract in contracts)
      {
          generator.GenerateServiceContractType(contract);
      }
if (generator.Errors.Count != 0)
  throw new Exception("There were errors during code compilation.");

// Write the code dom
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeGeneratorOptions options
  = new System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeGeneratorOptions();
      options.BracingStyle = "C";
      System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider codeDomProvider
  = System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("C#");
      System.CodeDom.Compiler.IndentedTextWriter textWriter
  = new System.CodeDom.Compiler.IndentedTextWriter(new System.IO.StreamWriter(outputFile));
      codeDomProvider.GenerateCodeFromCompileUnit(
  generator.TargetCompileUnit, textWriter, options
);
      textWriter.Close();
  }

Remarks

Use the ImportAllContracts method to import all WSDL port type information from the metadata documents and return them as ContractDescription objects. It is recommended to check the Errors property to determine whether there are any import errors before using the returned objects.

To import only one port type, see the ImportContract method.
