XmlReflectionMember Class
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Provides mappings between code entities in .NET Framework Web service methods and the content of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) messages that are defined for SOAP Web services.

IsReturnValue | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the XmlReflectionMember represents a Web service method return value, as opposed to an output parameter. |
|
MemberName | Gets or sets the name of the Web service method member for this mapping. |
|
MemberType | Gets or sets the type of the Web service method member code entity that is represented by this mapping. |
|
OverrideIsNullable | Gets or sets a value that indicates that the value of the corresponding XML element definition's isNullable attribute is false. |

|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

Remarks
The XmlReflectionMember class is not used directly. Instead, it is used:
To initialize XmlSerializer objects while .NET Framework is initializing a SOAP Web service or client.
By the ServiceDescriptionReflector class while ServiceDescriptionReflector creates ServiceDescription objects from classes that are identified as SOAP Web services.
During reflection of a SOAP Web service method, arrays of XmlReflectionMember objects are produced that represent the contents of WSDL message definitions. An array is produced for each of the following items that belong to a SOAP Web service method:
Input parameters.
Output parameters and return values.
Request SOAP headers using attributes.
Response SOAP headers using attributes.
The SoapReflectionImporter and XmlReflectionImporter classes translate an XmlReflectionMember array into an XmlMembersMapping that contains an XmlMemberMapping collection, for further processing.
