Gets or sets a value indicating whether the SoapHeader must be understood.
public:
property bool MustUnderstand { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool MustUnderstand { get; set; }
member this.MustUnderstand : bool with get, set
Public Property MustUnderstand As Boolean
Property Value
true
if the XML Web service must properly interpret and process the SoapHeader; otherwise, false
. The default is false
.
Examples
The following XML Web service client defines a custom SOAP header of type MyHeader
, sets the MustUnderstand property to true
, and invokes the MyWebMethod
XML Web service method. If the XML Web service method does not set the DidUnderstand property of the MyHeader
SOAP header to true
, a SoapHeaderException is thrown.
int main()
{
MyWebService^ ws = gcnew MyWebService;
try
{
MyHeader^ customHeader = gcnew MyHeader;
customHeader->MyValue = "Header Value for MyValue";
customHeader->MustUnderstand = true;
ws->myHeader = customHeader;
int results = ws->MyWebMethod( 3, 5 );
}
catch ( Exception^ e )
{
Console::WriteLine( "Exception: {0}", e );
}
}
using System;
public class Sample {
public static void Main() {
MyWebService ws = new MyWebService();
try {
MyHeader customHeader = new MyHeader();
customHeader.MyValue = "Header Value for MyValue";
customHeader.MustUnderstand = true;
ws.myHeader = customHeader;
int results = ws.MyWebMethod(3,5);
}
catch (Exception e) {
Console.WriteLine ("Exception: {0}", e.ToString());
}
}
}
Public Class Sample
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim ws As New MyWebService()
Try
Dim customHeader As New MyHeader1()
customHeader.MyValue = "Header Value for MyValue"
customHeader.MustUnderstand = True
ws.myHeader = customHeader
Dim results As Integer
results = ws.MyWebMethod(3,5)
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e.ToString())
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Remarks
When an XML Web service client adds a SOAP header to an XML Web service method call with the MustUnderstand property set to true
, the XML Web service method must set the DidUnderstand property to true
; otherwise, a SoapHeaderException is thrown back to the XML Web service client by ASP.NET.
Although both the EncodedMustUnderstand and MustUnderstand properties can be used to set the value of the mustUnderstand
attribute within the SOAP header, the MustUnderstand property allows you to set the attribute using a Boolean value.
