Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Occurs during deserialization of a SOAP-encoded XML stream, when the XmlSerializer encounters a recognized type that is not used or is unreferenced.

public:
 event System::Xml::Serialization::UnreferencedObjectEventHandler ^ UnreferencedObject;

public event System.Xml.Serialization.UnreferencedObjectEventHandler UnreferencedObject;

member this.UnreferencedObject : System.Xml.Serialization.UnreferencedObjectEventHandler

Public Custom Event UnreferencedObject As UnreferencedObjectEventHandler

Event Type

UnreferencedObjectEventHandler

Examples

The following example adds an UnreferencedObjectEventHandler to an XmlSerializer. The event is handled by the Serializer``_``UnreferencedObject method. To run the example, cut and paste the following XML into a file named "UnrefObj.xml".

Remarks

The UnreferencedObject event only occurs when the XmlSerializer is used to deserialize an XML document that contains a SOAP message that conforms to section 5 of the World Wide Web Consortium document, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1.

Documents that conform to section 5 are in a special format. At the very least, such a document includes the main body of the SOAP message. However, rather than having all types defined inline in the document, some type definitions can be encoded as references to top-level elements in the document. Thus, for every element found in the main body that is a reference, there must be a corresponding element that contains the type definition. To correlate the referencing element and the type definition, the type definition has an id attribute set to a unique string ID and the referencing element has an href attribute that references the same ID.

<Group xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" id="id1" n1:GroupName=".NET" GroupNumber="ZDI=" CreationDate="2002-05-02" xmlns:n1="http:'www.cpandl.com">
    <PosInt xsi:type="xsd:nonNegativeInteger">10000</PosInt>
    <GroupVehicle href="#id2" />
  </Group>
  <Vehicle id="id2" n1:type="Vehicle" xmlns:n1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <licenseNumber xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" n1:type="q1:string">1234</licenseNumber>
  </Vehicle>

The UnreferencedObject event occur when there is a type definition found in the document, but no parameter in the main body references it. When the event occurs, you can retrieve the XML type of the unreferenced object by examining the UnreferencedObject property of the UnreferencedObjectEventArgs class. The XML ID of the object is returned by the UnreferencedId property.

The UnreferencedObject event should not be confused with the UnknownElement and UnknownNode events, which occur when there is no class member that corresponds to the XML node or element type.
