System.Xml.Serialization.SoapAttributeAttribute Class

Summary

Specifies that the XmlSerializer should serialize the class member as an encoded SOAP attribute.

C# Syntax:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property | AttributeTargets.Field | AttributeTargets.Parameter | AttributeTargets.ReturnValue)] public class SoapAttributeAttribute : Attribute

The SoapAttributeAttribute class belongs to a family of attributes that controls how the XmlSerializer serializes, or deserializes, an object as encoded SOAP XML. The resulting XML conforms to section 5 of the World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) document, "Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1". For a complete list of similar attributes, see the conceptual topic at MSDN: attributesthatcontrolsoapencodedserialization.

To serialize an object as an encoded SOAP message, you must construct the XmlSerializer using an XmlTypeMapping created with the SoapReflectionImporter.ImportTypeMapping method of the SoapReflectionImporter class.

Apply the SoapAttributeAttribute to a public field to specify that the XmlSerializer serializes the field as an XML attribute. You can specify an alternative name of the attribute by setting the SoapAttributeAttribute.AttributeName property. Set the SoapAttributeAttribute.DataType if the attribute must be given a specific XML Schema definition language (XSD) data type. If the attribute belongs to a specific XML namespace, set the SoapAttributeAttribute.Namespace property.

For more information about using attributes, see the conceptual topic at MSDN: extendingmetadatausingattributes.

Note In your code, you can use the word SoapAttribute instead of the longer SoapAttributeAttribute.

The following example serializes a class that contains several fields to which a SoapAttributeAttribute is applied.

System.Xml.Serialization.SoapAttributeAttribute Member Details

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the SoapAttributeAttribute class.

Default constructor. This constructor is called by derived class constructors to initialize state in this type.

C# Syntax:

public SoapAttributeAttribute();

Use this constructor to create a SoapAttributeAttribute when you are overriding the serialization of a class member. Create the SoapAttributeAttribute, set its properties, and set the object to the SoapAttributes.SoapAttribute property of a SoapAttributes object. For more details, see the SoapAttributeOverrides class overview.

The following example creates a new SoapAttributeAttribute that is used to override the serialization of a field. After creating a SoapAttributeAttribute and setting its properties, the object is set to the SoapAttributes.SoapAttribute property of a SoapAttributes. The SoapAttributes is then added to a SoapAttributeOverrides that is used to create an XmlSerializer.

Summary

Gets or sets the name of the XML attribute generated by the XmlSerializer.

C# Syntax:

public string AttributeName {get; set;}

Use the SoapAttributeAttribute.AttributeName property to specify an XML attribute name when the default value cannot be used. For example, if the XML attribute name is invalid as a member identifier, you can use a valid name for the identifier while setting the SoapAttributeAttribute.AttributeName to an invalid name.

The following example serializes a class that contains several fields to which the SoapAttributeAttribute is applied. The SoapAttributeAttribute.AttributeName property is set for the Today field.

Summary

Gets or sets the XML Schema definition language (XSD) data type of the SOAP attribute generated by the XmlSerializer.

C# Syntax:

public string DataType {get; set;}

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
Exception	The XML Schema data type you've specified cannot be mapped to the .NET data type.

The following table lists the XML Schema simple data types with their .NET equivalents.

For the XML Schema base64Binary and hexBinary data types, use an array of Byte structures, and apply a SoapAttributeAttribute with the SoapAttributeAttribute.DataType set to "base64Binary" or "hexBinary", as appropriate. For the XML Schema time and date data types, use the DateTime type and apply the SoapAttributeAttribute with the SoapAttributeAttribute.DataType set to "date" or "time".

For every XML Schema data type that is mapped to a string, apply the SoapAttributeAttribute with its SoapAttributeAttribute.DataType property set to the XML Schema data type. Note that this will not change the serialization format, only the schema for the member.

Note The property is case-sensitive, so you must set it exactly to one of the XML Schema data types.

Note Passing binary data as an XML element is more efficient then passing it as an XML attribute.

For more information about XML Schema data types, see the World Wide Consortium (www.w3.org ) document named "XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes".

Summary

Gets or sets the XML namespace of the XML attribute.

C# Syntax:

public string Namespace {get; set;}

The XmlAttributeAttribute.Namespace property conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org ) specification "Namespaces in XML".

To create namespaces that are associated with prefixes, you must create an XmlSerializerNamespaces that contains the namespaces and prefixes used in the XML document. The namespace you set for each XmlAttributeAttribute must match one of the namespaces in the XmlSerializerNamespaces. When the XmlSerializer generates the XML code, it correctly prefixes each attribute name.

The following example serializes a class that contains several fields to which a SoapAttributeAttribute is applied. The SoapAttributeAttribute.Namespace property is set for the GroupName the field.

See base class member description: System.Attribute.TypeId

Summary

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

C# Syntax:

public virtual object TypeId {get;}

As implemented, this identifier is merely the Type of the attribute. However, it is intended that the unique identifier be used to identify two attributes of the same type.

Summary

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.IsDefaultAttribute

Summary

When overridden in a derived class, returns an indication whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.

C# Syntax:

public virtual bool IsDefaultAttribute();

Return Value:

true if this instance is the default attribute for the class; otherwise, false.

The default implementation of this class returns false, and must be implemented in the derived class to be useful to that class.

The implementation of this method in a derived class compares the value of this instance to a standard, default value obtained by some means, then returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the value of this instance is equal to the standard. The standard value is typically coded as a constant in the implementation, or stored programmatically in a field used by the implementation.

See base class member description: System.Attribute.Match

Summary

When overridden in a derived class, returns a value indicating whether this instance equals a specified object.

C# Syntax:

public virtual bool Match(    object obj );

obj

An Object to compare with this instance of Attribute.

Return Value:

true if this instance equals obj; otherwise, false.

This method determines if one Attribute equals another. Its default implementation is the same as Attribute.Equals, which performs a value and reference comparison. Override this method to implement support for attribute values, such as flags or bitfields, that consist of components that are meaningful in themselves. For example, consider an attribute whose value is a binary field divided into a bitfield of flags. Two instances of this attribute have one flag in set in common while all the other flags differ. The Equal method cannot determine that the two instances have the same flag set, but the Match method can.
