DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior Class

Represents the run-time behavior of the DataContractSerializer.

System.Object
  System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Description
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
public class DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior : IOperationBehavior, 
	IWsdlExportExtension

The DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior(OperationDescription) Initializes a new instance of the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior class with the specified operation description.
Public method DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior(OperationDescription, DataContractFormatAttribute) Initializes a new instance of the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior class with the specified operation description and data contract format.

  Name Description
Public property DataContractFormatAttribute Gets the DataContractFormatAttribute associated with the operation.
Public property DataContractResolver Gets or sets an implementation of the DataContractResolver that is used to dynamically map types during serialization and deserialization processes.
Public property DataContractSurrogate Gets or sets a surrogate to be used during the serialization and deserialization processes.
Public property IgnoreExtensionDataObject Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the data provided by an extension of a type (and therefore not in the data contract) is ignored or not.
Public property MaxItemsInObjectGraph Gets or sets the maximum number of items in the object graph to serialize or deserialize.
Top
  Name Description
Public method CreateSerializer(Type, String, String, IList<Type>) Creates an instance of a class that inherits from XmlObjectSerializer for serialization and deserialization processes.
Public method CreateSerializer(Type, XmlDictionaryString, XmlDictionaryString, IList<Type>) Creates an instance of a class that inherits from XmlObjectSerializer for serialization and deserialization processes with an XmlDictionaryString that contains the namespace.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
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.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IOperationBehavior.AddBindingParameters Adds a collection of parameters to the behavior.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IOperationBehavior.ApplyClientBehavior Attaches a client behavior to the operation.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IOperationBehavior.ApplyDispatchBehavior Applies the behavior to the operation.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IOperationBehavior.Validate Validates the operation.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IWsdlExportExtension.ExportContract Exports the WSDL representation of the operation.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IWsdlExportExtension.ExportEndpoint Exports the endpoint description as a WSDL document.

The DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior enables the control of DataContractSerializer options, such as the MaxItemsInObjectGraph and IgnoreExtensionDataObject properties. Some of these properties can be set only using the constructor of the class. In that case, the DataContractSerializer can be replaced using the CreateSerializer method. For more information about data contracts, see Using Data Contracts.

For more information about using the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior to replace the IDataContractSurrogate returned by the DataContractSurrogate property, see Data Contract Surrogates.

The following example finds the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior in the collection of behaviors for an operation and resets the MaxItemsInObjectGraph and IgnoreExtensionDataObject properties.


private void DataContractBehavior()
{
    WSHttpBinding b = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message);
    Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:1066/calculator");
    ServiceHost sh = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator), baseAddress);
    sh.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ICalculator), b, "");

    // Find the ContractDescription of the operation to find.
    ContractDescription cd = sh.Description.Endpoints[0].Contract;
    OperationDescription myOperationDescription = cd.Operations.Find("Add");

    // Find the serializer behavior.
    DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior serializerBehavior =
        myOperationDescription.Behaviors.
           Find<DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>();

    // If the serializer is not found, create one and add it.
    if (serializerBehavior == null)
    {
        serializerBehavior = new DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior(myOperationDescription);
        myOperationDescription.Behaviors.Add(serializerBehavior);
    }

    // Change the settings of the behavior.
    serializerBehavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 10000;
    serializerBehavior.IgnoreExtensionDataObject = true;

    sh.Open();
    Console.WriteLine("Listening");
    Console.ReadLine();
}
