MediaTypeFormatter Class
Base class to handle serializing and deserializing strongly-typed objects using ObjectContent.
Namespace: System.Net.Http.Formatting
Assembly: System.Net.Http.Formatting (in System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll)
The MediaTypeFormatter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | MaxHttpCollectionKeys | Gets or sets the maximum number of keys stored in a T: [System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection]. |
| MediaTypeMappings | Gets the mutable collection of MediaTypeMapping objects that match HTTP requests to media types. |
| RequiredMemberSelector | Gets or sets the IRequiredMemberSelector instance used to determine required members. |
| SupportedEncodings | Gets the mutable collection of character encodings supported bythis MediaTypeFormatter. |
| SupportedMediaTypes | Gets the mutable collection of media types supported bythis MediaTypeFormatter. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CanReadType | Queries whether this MediaTypeFormatter can deserializean object of the specified type. |
| CanWriteType | Queries whether this MediaTypeFormatter can serializean object of the specified type. |
| Equals | (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetDefaultValueForType | Gets the default value for the specified type. |
| GetHashCode | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetPerRequestFormatterInstance | Returns a specialized instance of the MediaTypeFormatter that can format a response for the given parameters. |
| GetType | (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | (Inherited from Object.) |
| ReadFromStreamAsync | Asynchronously deserializes an object of the specified type. |
| SelectCharacterEncoding | Determines the best character encoding for reading or writing an HTTP entity body, given a set of content headers. |
| SetDefaultContentHeaders | Sets the default headers for content that will be formatted using this formatter. This method is called from the ObjectContent constructor. This implementation sets the Content-Type header to the value of mediaType if it is not null. If it is null it sets the Content-Type to the default media type of this formatter. If the Content-Type does not specify a charset it will set it using this formatters configured Encoding. |
| ToString | (Inherited from Object.) |
| WriteToStreamAsync | Asynchronously writes an object of the specified type. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddQueryStringMapping(String, String, MediaTypeHeaderValue) | Overloaded. Updates the given set of formatter of MediaTypeMapping elements so that it associates the mediaType with Uris containing a specific query parameter and value. (Defined by MediaTypeFormatterExtensions.) |
| AddQueryStringMapping(String, String, String) | Overloaded. Updates the given set of formatter of MediaTypeMapping elements so that it associates the mediaType with Uris containing a specific query parameter and value. (Defined by MediaTypeFormatterExtensions.) |
| AddRequestHeaderMapping(String, String, StringComparison, Boolean, MediaTypeHeaderValue) | Overloaded. Updates the given set of formatter of MediaTypeMapping elements so that it associates the mediaType with a specific HTTP request header field with a specific value. (Defined by MediaTypeFormatterExtensions.) |
| AddRequestHeaderMapping(String, String, StringComparison, Boolean, String) | Overloaded. Updates the given set of formatter of MediaTypeMapping elements so that it associates the mediaType with a specific HTTP request header field with a specific value. (Defined by MediaTypeFormatterExtensions.) |
| AddUriPathExtensionMapping(String, MediaTypeHeaderValue) | Overloaded. Updates the given formatter's set of MediaTypeMapping elements so that it associates the mediaType with Uris ending with the given uriPathExtension. (Defined by MediaTypeFormatterExtensions.) |
| AddUriPathExtensionMapping(String, String) | Overloaded. Updates the given formatter's set of MediaTypeMapping elements so that it associates the mediaType with Uris ending with the given uriPathExtension. (Defined by MediaTypeFormatterExtensions.) |
