DataContractAttribute.Namespace Property (System.Runtime.Serialization)

.NET Framework Class Library

DataContractAttribute..::.Namespace Property

Gets or sets the namespace for the data contract for the type.

Namespace: System.Runtime.Serialization
Assembly: System.Runtime.Serialization (in System.Runtime.Serialization.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Property Namespace As String

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As DataContractAttribute
Dim value As String

value = instance.Namespace

instance.Namespace = value

public string Namespace { get; set; }

Visual C++

public:
property String^ Namespace {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

JScript

public function get Namespace () : String
public function set Namespace (value : String)

Property Value

Type: System..::.String
The namespace of the contract.

Remarks

Use this property to specify a particular namespace if your type must return data that complies with a specific data contract.

Tip:
For the data to be successfully transmitted, the name of the data in a data contract must be the same in both the client and the server. Visual Basic projects, by default, add a prefix to the namespace defined in each file (called the “root namespace,” named after the project). Adding this prefix causes the client and server namespaces to be different for the same type. The solution is to set the Namespace property to “”, or to explicitly set the data contract namespace in this property.
