Remarks

A custom assertion is a user supplied class that derives from PolicyAssertion and exposes a constructor of the form CustomAssertion(XmlQualifiedName qName, XmlElement element). All custom assertions loaded by policy documents will be handled by instances of this type. It is only required if a custom policy assertion is to be understood by WSE. For details about authoring custom policy assertion handlers, see Walkthrough: Creating a Policy Assertion.

Example

The following code example specifies that custom policy assertions are handled by a handler named SpecialPolicy.

<configuration>
  <microsoft.web.services2>
    <policy>
      <assertion xmlns:t=http://tempuri.org name="t:Assertion" Type="SpecialPolicies.SpecialPolicy, AssemblyName"/>
    </policy>
  </microsoft.web.services2>
</configuration>
