Definition

Initializes a new instance of the KnownTypeAttribute class.

Overloads

KnownTypeAttribute(String)

Initializes a new instance of the KnownTypeAttribute class with the name of a method that returns an IEnumerable of known types.

KnownTypeAttribute(Type)

KnownTypeAttribute(String)

Source:
KnownTypeAttribute.cs
Source:
KnownTypeAttribute.cs
Source:
KnownTypeAttribute.cs

Initializes a new instance of the KnownTypeAttribute class with the name of a method that returns an IEnumerable of known types.

public:
 KnownTypeAttribute(System::String ^ methodName);
public KnownTypeAttribute (string methodName);
new System.Runtime.Serialization.KnownTypeAttribute : string -> System.Runtime.Serialization.KnownTypeAttribute
Public Sub New (methodName As String)

Parameters

methodName
String

The name of the method that returns an IEnumerable of types used when serializing or deserializing data.

Examples

The following example uses the methodName parameter to identify a method in the type that contains an array of Type objects.

Remarks

This constructor uses a method name that matches a method of the class. The method returns a IEnumerable<T> of Type objects. During serialization or deserialization, the types found in the collection can be used within the root type to which the attribute is applied.
