XmlSchemaExporter Class
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Populates XmlSchema objects with XML schema element declarations that are found in type mapping objects.
Namespace: System.Xml.Serialization
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
The XmlSchemaExporter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ExportAnyType(String) | Exports an <any> element to the XmlSchema object that is identified by the specified namespace. |
| ExportAnyType(XmlMembersMapping) | Adds an element declaration for an object or type to a SOAP message or to an XmlSchema object. |
| ExportMembersMapping(XmlMembersMapping) | Adds an element declaration to the applicable XmlSchema for each of the element parts of a literal SOAP message definition. |
| ExportMembersMapping(XmlMembersMapping, Boolean) | Adds an element declaration to the applicable XmlSchema for each of the element parts of a literal SOAP message definition, and specifies whether enclosing elements are included. |
| ExportTypeMapping(XmlMembersMapping) | Adds an element declaration to the applicable XmlSchema object for a single element part of a literal SOAP message definition. |
| ExportTypeMapping(XmlTypeMapping) | Adds an element declaration for a .NET Framework type to the applicable XmlSchema object. |
| 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.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The XmlSchemaExporter class provides a programmatic representation of an XML Schema Definition language (XSD) document. Instead of using XmlSchemaExporter directly, use the ServiceDescriptionReflector class or the XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe).
The ServiceDescriptionReflector class creates ServiceDescription objects from classes that are identified as Web services. It uses the XmlSchemaExporter class when a Web service class specifies:
Literal use, indicating that the contents of SOAP message parameters and return values (or request and response documents) are literally specified with XML schema definitions.
Non-SOAP implementations of Web services using the HTTP-GET and HTTP-POST operations.
Xsd.exe generates XML schema documents from one or more types in a run-time assembly file using the XmlSchemaExporter class and reflection.
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
