Operation Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.Services.Description

Assembly:

System.Web.Services.dll

Provides an abstract definition of an action supported by the XML Web service. This class cannot be inherited.

public sealed class Operation : System.Web.Services.Description.NamedItem

Examples

The following example demonstrates a typical use of the Operation class. The example takes a ServiceDescription that does not have a PortType that supports the HTTP POST protocol. It adds a PortType instance that supports POST, and writes out a new WSDL contract.

C#

using System;
using System.Web.Services.Description;
using System.Collections;
using System.Xml;

class MyOperationClass
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      ServiceDescription myDescription = ServiceDescription.Read("Operation_5_Input_CS.wsdl");
      // Create a 'PortType' object.
      PortType myPortType = new PortType();
      myPortType.Name = "OperationServiceHttpPost";
      Operation myOperation = CreateOperation
                         ("AddNumbers","s0:AddNumbersHttpPostIn","s0:AddNumbersHttpPostOut");
      myPortType.Operations.Add(myOperation);
      // Get the PortType of the Operation.
      PortType myPort = myOperation.PortType;
      Console.WriteLine(
         "The port type of the operation is: " + myPort.Name);
      // Add the 'PortType's to 'PortTypeCollection' of 'ServiceDescription'.
      myDescription.PortTypes.Add(myPortType);

      // Write the 'ServiceDescription' as a WSDL file.
      myDescription.Write("Operation_5_Output_CS.wsdl");
      Console.WriteLine("WSDL file with name 'Operation_5_Output_CS.wsdl' file created Successfully");
   }
   public static Operation CreateOperation(string myOperationName,string myInputMesg,string myOutputMesg)
   {
      // Create an Operation.
      Operation myOperation = new Operation();
      myOperation.Name = myOperationName;
      OperationMessage myInput = (OperationMessage)new OperationInput();
      myInput.Message =  new XmlQualifiedName(myInputMesg);
      OperationMessage myOutput = (OperationMessage)new OperationOutput();
      myOutput.Message = new XmlQualifiedName(myOutputMesg);

      // Add messages to the OperationMessageCollection.
      myOperation.Messages.Add(myInput);
      myOperation.Messages.Add(myOutput);
      Console.WriteLine("Operation name is: " + myOperation.Name);
      return myOperation;
   }
}

Remarks

The Operation class corresponds to the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) operation element enclosed by the portType element. For more information about WSDL, see the WSDL specification.

Constructors

Operation()

Initializes a new instance of the Operation class.

Properties

Documentation	Gets or sets the text documentation for the instance of the DocumentableItem. (Inherited from DocumentableItem)
DocumentationElement	Gets or sets the documentation element for the DocumentableItem. (Inherited from DocumentableItem)
ExtensibleAttributes	Gets or sets an array of type XmlAttribute that represents attribute extensions of WSDL to comply with Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) Basic Profile 1.1. (Inherited from DocumentableItem)
Extensions	Gets the ServiceDescriptionFormatExtensionCollection associated with this Operation.
Faults	Gets the collection of faults, or error messages, defined by the current Operation.
Messages	Gets the collection of instances of the Message class defined by the current Operation.
Name	Gets or sets the name of the item. (Inherited from NamedItem)
Namespaces	Gets or sets the dictionary of namespace prefixes and namespaces used to preserve namespace prefixes and namespaces when a ServiceDescription object is constructed. (Inherited from DocumentableItem)
ParameterOrder	Gets or sets an array of the elements contained in the ParameterOrderString.
ParameterOrderString	Gets or sets an optional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) signature that orders specification for request-response or solicit-response operations.
PortType	Gets the PortType of which the Operation is a member.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
