public:
 abstract System::ServiceModel::Channels::WebContentFormat GetMessageFormatForContentType(System::String ^ contentType);

public abstract System.ServiceModel.Channels.WebContentFormat GetMessageFormatForContentType (string contentType);

abstract member GetMessageFormatForContentType : string -> System.ServiceModel.Channels.WebContentFormat

Public MustOverride Function GetMessageFormatForContentType (contentType As String) As WebContentFormat

Parameters

contentType: String

The content type that indicates the MIME type of data to be interpreted.

Returns

WebContentFormat

The WebContentFormat that specifies the format to which the message content type is mapped.

Remarks

This is intended to be an extensibility mechanism that can be used to override how content types are mapped to Web content formats. For example, if all incoming messages are processed as "raw binary data" without ever doing XML or JSON parsing, you could implement a WebContentTypeMapper that always returned Raw regardless of the content type that was passed in.
