Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Generates mappings to XML schema element declarations, including literal XML Schema Definition (XSD) message parts in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document for .NET Framework types or Web service method information.

Remarks

The XmlReflectionImporter class is not used directly. Instead, it is used as follows:

  • By the ServiceDescriptionReflector class while it creates ServiceDescription objects from classes that are identified as Web services.

  • By a Web service or client, including during initialization.

  • To initialize an XmlSerializer object.

  • By the XML Schema Definition tool (Xsd.exe) while the tool generates XML schemas from types in a run-time assembly file.

  • By the Web Services Description Language tool (Wsdl.exe) while the tool generates client proxy classes or abstract server classes from a WSDL document.

The XmlReflectionImporter class is used for Web services when a service or client specifies:

  • Literal use, which indicates 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.
