MessageEncoder.IsContentTypeSupported Method
Returns a value that indicates whether a specified message-level content-type value is supported by the message encoder.
Namespace: System.ServiceModel.Channels
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Parameters
- contentType
- Type: System.String
The message-level content-type being tested.
Return Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the message-level content-type specified is supported; otherwise false.
This method is used to determine whether the message encoder can be used to read a particular style of message, based on its content-type. The information in the ContentType class is used to describe the data that is contained in a message and is used to determine if there is a content-type match.
A grammar that details the syntax of the content-type header is described in RFC 2045 Section 5.1. RFC 2046 provides detailed information on Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) media types and their parameters.
The following code example shows how to override this method to handle different content types with the same media type.
public override bool IsContentTypeSupported(string contentType) { if (base.IsContentTypeSupported(contentType)) { return true; } if (contentType.Length == this.MediaType.Length) { return contentType.Equals(this.MediaType, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase); } else { if (contentType.StartsWith(this.MediaType, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) && (contentType[this.MediaType.Length] == ';')) { return true; } } return false; }
public class CustomTextMessageEncoderFactory : MessageEncoderFactory { private MessageEncoder encoder; private MessageVersion version; private string mediaType; private string charSet; internal CustomTextMessageEncoderFactory(string mediaType, string charSet, MessageVersion version) { this.version = version; this.mediaType = mediaType; this.charSet = charSet; this.encoder = new CustomTextMessageEncoder(this); } public override MessageEncoder Encoder { get { return this.encoder; } } public override MessageVersion MessageVersion { get { return this.version; } } internal string MediaType { get { return this.mediaType; } } internal string CharSet { get { return this.charSet; } } }
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)
