TextMessageEncodingBindingElement Class
The binding element that specifies the character encoding and message versioning used for text-based SOAP messages.
System.ServiceModel.Channels::BindingElement
System.ServiceModel.Channels::MessageEncodingBindingElement
System.ServiceModel.Channels::TextMessageEncodingBindingElement
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
The TextMessageEncodingBindingElement type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | TextMessageEncodingBindingElement() | Initializes a new instance of the TextMessageEncodingBindingElement class. |
![]() ![]() | TextMessageEncodingBindingElement(MessageVersion, Encoding) | Initializes a new instance of the TextMessageEncodingBindingElement class with a specified message version and encoding. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | MaxReadPoolSize | Gets or sets the number of readers that are allocated to a pool and ready for use to process incoming messages. |
![]() | MaxWritePoolSize | Gets or sets the number of writers that are allocated to a pool and ready for use to process outgoing messages. |
![]() ![]() | MessageVersion | Gets or sets the SOAP and WS-Addressing versions that are used to format the text message. (Overrides MessageEncodingBindingElement::MessageVersion.) |
![]() | ReaderQuotas | Gets or sets constraints on the complexity of SOAP messages that can be processed by endpoints configured with this binding. |
![]() ![]() | WriteEncoding | Gets or sets the encoding that is used to format the characters in the text message. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | BuildChannelFactory<TChannel> | Builds the channel factory stack on the client that creates a specified type of channel for a specified context. (Overrides BindingElement::BuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
![]() | BuildChannelListener<TChannel> | Builds the channel listener on the service that accepts a specified type of channel for a specified context. (Overrides BindingElement::BuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
![]() ![]() | CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel> | Returns a value that indicates whether the binding element can build a channel factory for a specific type of channel. (Inherited from BindingElement.) |
![]() | CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel> | Returns a value that indicates whether the current binding can build a listener for a specified type of channel and context. (Overrides BindingElement::CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
![]() ![]() | Clone | Creates a new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement object initialized from the current one. (Overrides BindingElement::Clone().) |
![]() ![]() | CreateMessageEncoderFactory | Creates a factory for text message encoders that employs the message version and character encoding specified by the current encoding binding element. (Overrides MessageEncodingBindingElement::CreateMessageEncoderFactory().) |
![]() ![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from 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.) |
![]() | GetProperty<T> | Returns a typed object requested, if present, from the appropriate layer in the binding element stack. (Overrides MessageEncodingBindingElement::GetProperty<T>(BindingContext).) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ShouldSerializeReaderQuotas | Returns whether the constraints placed on the complexity of SOAP message structure should be serialized. |
![]() | ShouldSerializeWriteEncoding | Returns whether the Encoding that is used to format the message characters should be serialized. |
![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IPolicyExportExtension::ExportPolicy | Generates WSDL contract information from encoding policies contained in the binding element. |
![]() ![]() | IWsdlExportExtension::ExportContract | Generates WSDL contract information from encoding policies contained in the binding element. |
![]() ![]() | IWsdlExportExtension::ExportEndpoint | Generates WSDL contract information from encoding policies contained in the binding element. |
Encoding is the process of transforming a message into a sequence of bytes. Decoding is the reverse process. includes three types of encoding for SOAP messages: Text, Binary and Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM).
The text encoding represented by the TextMessageEncodingBindingElement is the most interoperable, but the least efficient encoder for XML messages. Web service or Web service client can generally understand textual XML. However, transmitting large blocks of binary data as text is not efficient.
For more information about the binding element that specifies messages are encoded using the .NET Binary Format for XML, see BinaryMessageEncodingBindingElement.
For more information about the binding element that specifies messages are encoded using the MTOM message encoding, see MtomMessageEncodingBindingElement.
For more information about how to implement a custom message encoder, use the MessageEncodingBindingElement class.
