A message consists of headers and a body. The headers are buffered and the body is streamed. Because the body is streamed, the user cannot pass the actual content of the body to a message. Instead the user must pass a class that knows how to write the body when asked to do so. This is done by passing a class derived from BodyWriter to the Message. A message calls the class derived from BodyWriter whenever it requires the body to be written using an XmlWriter.
The following example shows how to derive a class from BodyWriter. This override takes in an array of strings and writes them to a XmlDictionaryWriter.

using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
using System.Xml;
namespace UEBodyWriter
{
class MyBodyWriter : BodyWriter
{
const string textTag = "text";
string[] bodySegment;
public MyBodyWriter(string[] strData) : base(true)
{
int length = strData.Length;
this.bodySegment = new string[length];
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
this.bodySegment[i] = strData[i];
}
}
protected override void OnWriteBodyContents(XmlDictionaryWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteStartElement(textTag);
foreach (string str in bodySegment)
{
writer.WriteString(str);
}
writer.WriteEndElement();
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] strings = {"Hello", "world"};
MyBodyWriter bw = new MyBodyWriter(strings);
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder(10);
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(strBuilder);
XmlDictionaryWriter dictionaryWriter = XmlDictionaryWriter.CreateDictionaryWriter(writer);
bw.WriteBodyContents(dictionaryWriter);
dictionaryWriter.Flush();
}
}
