Examples

The following example serializes a class named Group. The serialization of the GroupName and IgnoreThis fields and the members of the GroupType enumeration are overridden. In the CreateOverrideSerializer method, a SoapAttributeOverrides is created, and for each overridden member or enumeration, a SoapAttributes is created with the appropriate property set and added to the SoapAttributeOverrides. An XmlTypeMapping is created using the SoapAttributeOverrides, and that XmlTypeMapping is used to create the XmlSerializer that overrides the default serialization.

Remarks

The SoapReflectionImporter class provides type mappings to SOAP-encoded message parts, as defined in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document. It is used only when a Web service or client specifies SOAP encoding, as described in Section 5 of the SOAP 1.1 specification.

Constructors

SoapReflectionImporter()	Initializes a new instance of the SoapReflectionImporter class.
SoapReflectionImporter(SoapAttributeOverrides, String)	Initializes a new instance of the SoapReflectionImporter class, specifying XML serialization overrides and a default XML namespace.
SoapReflectionImporter(SoapAttributeOverrides)	Initializes a new instance of the SoapReflectionImporter class, specifying overrides for XML serialization.
SoapReflectionImporter(String)	Initializes a new instance of the SoapReflectionImporter class, specifying a default XML namespace for imported type mappings.

GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
ImportMembersMapping(String, String, XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, XmlMappingAccess)	Generates internal type mappings for information that is gathered from a Web service method.
ImportMembersMapping(String, String, XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean, Boolean, Boolean)	Generates internal type mappings for information that is gathered from a Web service method.
ImportMembersMapping(String, String, XmlReflectionMember[], Boolean, Boolean)	Generates internal type mappings for information that is gathered from a Web service method.
ImportMembersMapping(String, String, XmlReflectionMember[])	Generates internal type mappings for information that is gathered from a Web service method.
ImportTypeMapping(Type, String)	Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET type.
ImportTypeMapping(Type)	Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET type.
IncludeType(Type)	Places mappings for a type in the SoapReflectionImporter instance's context for later use when import methods are invoked.
IncludeTypes(ICustomAttributeProvider)	Places mappings for derived types in the SoapReflectionImporter instance's context for later use when import methods are invoked.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
