SoapEnumAttribute Constructor ()

 

Initializes a new instance of the SoapEnumAttribute class.

Namespace:   System.Xml.Serialization
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

public:
SoapEnumAttribute()

Use the SoapEnumAttribute to override an existing enumeration. Create a new SoapEnumAttribute, set its properties and assign the object to the SoapEnum property of a SoapAttributes. For each member of the enumeration, you must create a new SoapAttributes and add it to the SoapAttributeOverrides. For more details, see the SoapAttributeOverrides class overview.

System_CAPS_noteNote

You can use the word SoapEnum in your code instead of the longer SoapEnumAttribute.

The following example uses the XmlSerializer to serialize a class named Food that includes an enumeration named FoodType. The FoodType enumeration is overridden by creating a SoapEnumAttribute for each enumeration and setting the SoapEnum property of a SoapAttributes to the SoapEnumAttribute. The SoapAttributes is added to a SoapAttributeOverrides that is used to create an XmlSerializer.
