Gets or sets the default value of an XML element or attribute.

public:

Public Property SoapDefaultValue As Object

Property Value

Object

An object that represents the default value of an XML element or attribute.

Examples

The following example serializes a class named Group that includes a field named GroupName. The default value is set with the DefaultValueAttribute to ".NET". By either not setting the field, or by setting it to ".NET", the value is not serialized (because the default value is already known). The sample also overrides the default value in the CreateOverrideSerializer method, which is called by the SerializeOverride method. The example calls both methods, SerializeOriginal and SerializeOverride, and sets the same value (".NET") for the GroupName field. Because of the override, the value is serialized only when calling the SerializeOverride method.

Remarks

The default value of a member can be set by applying a DefaultValueAttribute attribute to the member. If the member is being serialized as an encoded SOAP message, you can change the default value by creating a new DefaultValueAttribute, setting its Value property, and setting the SoapDefaultValue property to the object. Add the SoapAttributes to a SoapAttributeOverrides. For more details, see the SoapAttributeOverrides class overview.
