MessageContractAttribute Class

Definition

Defines a strongly-typed class that corresponds to a SOAP message.

public ref class MessageContractAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple=false)]
public sealed class MessageContractAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple=false)>]
type MessageContractAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute

Examples

The following code example shows the use of the MessageContractAttribute to control the SOAP envelope structure for both the request message and the response message, and the use of both the MessageHeaderAttribute (to create a SOAP header for the response message) and the MessageBodyMemberAttribute (to specify the bodies of both the request and response message). The code example contains an example of each message when sent.

Remarks

Use the MessageContractAttribute attribute to specify the structure of the SOAP envelope for a particular message. Your service can then use the message as a parameter or return type in service operations. For information about controlling the serialization of the contents of a SOAP body without modifying the default SOAP envelope itself, see System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute, Specifying Data Transfer in Service Contracts, and Using Data Contracts.

Note

You cannot use custom message types in your service operation with regular serializable parameters. Either use custom message types or serializable parameters that are not Message objects. For details, see , Specifying Data Transfer in Service Contracts.

To implement a message contract for a type, annotate it with MessageContractAttribute and annotate one or more of the class's fields or properties with MessageBodyMemberAttribute, MessageHeaderAttribute, or MessageHeaderArrayAttribute.

Note

System.ServiceModel.MessageParameterAttribute is not a message contract attribute and cannot be used in conjunction with MessageContractAttribute.

Use the Action and ReplyAction properties to specify the value of the <Action> element in the SOAP message.

  • Use the HasProtectionLevel and ProtectionLevel properties to indicate whether the SOAP message type has a protection level, and if so, what it is.

  • Use the IsWrapped property to indicate whether the message body has a wrapper element, and if so, use the WrapperName and WrapperNamespace properties to specify the name and namespace, respectively, of the wrapping element.

For more information, see Using Message Contracts.

Gets or sets the name of the wrapper element of the message body.

WrapperNamespace

Gets or sets the namespace of the message body wrapper element.

(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.
