MetaData Class
Provides methods that allow you to work with XML schema.
Namespace: System.Runtime.Remoting.MetadataServices
Assembly: System.Runtime.Remoting (in System.Runtime.Remoting.dll)
The MetaData type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|

| ConvertCodeSourceStreamToAssemblyFile | Compiles specified code source streams into a run-time assembly file. |
| ConvertSchemaStreamToCodeSourceStream(Boolean, String, Stream, ArrayList) | Converts the specified schema definition into C# proxy source code. |
| ConvertSchemaStreamToCodeSourceStream(Boolean, String, Stream, ArrayList, String) | Converts the specified schema definition into C# proxy source code for a remote object that is located at the specified URL. |
| ConvertSchemaStreamToCodeSourceStream(Boolean, String, Stream, ArrayList, String, String) | Converts the specified schema definition into C# proxy source code for a remote object that is located at the specified URL and in the provided class namespace. |
| ConvertTypesToSchemaToFile(ServiceType[], SdlType, String) | Converts the specified service types to XML schema, and writes it to a file that is specified by name. |
| ConvertTypesToSchemaToFile(Type[], SdlType, String) | Converts the specified object types to XML schema, and writes it to a file that is specified by name. |
| ConvertTypesToSchemaToStream(ServiceType[], SdlType, Stream) | Converts the specified service types to XML schema, and writes it to a specified stream. |
| ConvertTypesToSchemaToStream(Type[], SdlType, Stream) | Converts the specified object types to XML schema, and writes it to a specified stream. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
.gif?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=fsharp "Protected method") | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| 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.) |
| RetrieveSchemaFromUrlToFile | Downloads the XML schema from a URL, and writes it to the specified file. |
| RetrieveSchemaFromUrlToStream | Downloads the XML schema from a URL, and writes it to the specified stream. |
| SaveStreamToFile | Saves the input stream to a file with the specified name. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The MetaData class provides methods that allow you to generate Web Services Description Language (WSDL) from type information, convert an XML Schema into a code stream, and compile the code stream into an assembly. This functionality is also present in the [<topic://cpgrfsoapsudsutilitysoapsudsexe>].
