The SoapExtensionAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

  Name Description
Protected method SoapExtensionAttribute Initializes a new instance of the SoapExtensionAttribute class.
Top
Properties

  Name Description
Public property ExtensionType When overridden in a derived class, gets the Type of the SOAP extension.
Public property Priority When overridden in a derived class, gets or set the priority of the SOAP extension.
Public property TypeId When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
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 Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method IsDefaultAttribute When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
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.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.Invoke Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

XML Web service methods created using ASP.NET can be configured to run with a SOAP extension by applying an attribute to the XML Web service method. When a custom extension attribute is added to an XML Web service method or a method on a client proxy class, ASP.NET invokes the associated extension at the appropriate time. An extension attribute is a custom attribute class deriving from SoapExtensionAttribute. Derived attributes must override the ExtensionType property to return the type of extension that is associated with the attribute.

Examples

The following TraceExtensionAttribute class derives from SoapExtensionAttribute to support applying the attribute to an XML Web service method or a method in an XML Web service client proxy class. When applied to either, the TraceExtension SOAP extension runs with the method.

Visual Basic

' Create a SoapExtensionAttribute for a SOAP extension that can be
' applied to an XML Web service method.
<AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)> _
Public Class TraceExtensionAttribute
    Inherits SoapExtensionAttribute

    Private m_filename As String = "c:\log.txt"
    Private m_priority As Integer

   ' Return the type of 'TraceExtension' class.
    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ExtensionType() As Type
        Get
            Return GetType(TraceExtension)
        End Get
    End Property

   ' User can set priority of the 'TraceExtension'.
    Public Overrides Property Priority() As Integer
        Get
            Return m_priority
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
            m_priority = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property Filename() As String
        Get
            Return m_filename
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            m_filename = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class
