Examples

The following TraceExtension SOAP extension outputs the SOAP request and SOAP response to a specified file when applied to an XML Web service method. If the following SOAP extension is installed to run with an XML Web service, the ASPNET user account must have permission to write to the directory in which the log file is written.

Remarks

ASP.NET allows a SOAP-related infrastructure to be built by means of an extensibility mechanism. The ASP.NET SOAP extension architecture revolves around an extension that can inspect or modify a message at specific stages in message processing on either the client or the server.

ASP.NET SOAP extensions derive from the SoapExtension class. The GetInitializer and Initialize methods provide alternative mechanisms for initializing the SOAP extension to enhance performance. ProcessMessage is the heart of most SOAP extensions, as the method is called at each stage defined in SoapMessageStage, allowing the SOAP extension to perform the desired behavior of that specific SOAP extension. For SOAP extensions that need to modify the SOAP request or SOAP response, ChainStream provides an opportunity to receive the proposed data to be sent across the wire.

Constructors

SoapExtension()

Initializes a new instance of the SoapExtension class.

Methods

ChainStream(Stream)	When overridden in a derived class, allows a SOAP extension access to the memory buffer containing the SOAP request or response.
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)
GetInitializer(LogicalMethodInfo, SoapExtensionAttribute)	When overridden in a derived class, allows a SOAP extension to initialize data specific to an XML Web service method using an attribute applied to the XML Web service method at a one time performance cost.
GetInitializer(Type)	When overridden in a derived class, allows a SOAP extension to initialize data specific to a class implementing an XML Web service at a one time performance cost.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
Initialize(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, allows a SOAP extension to initialize itself using the data cached in the GetInitializer(LogicalMethodInfo, SoapExtensionAttribute) method.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ProcessMessage(SoapMessage)	When overridden in a derived class, allows a SOAP extension to receive a SoapMessage to process at each SoapMessageStage.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
