DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior Class
Represents the run-time behavior of the DataContractSerializer.
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
The DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior enables control of DataContractSerializer options, such as the MaxItemsInObjectGraph and IgnoreExtensionDataObject properties. Some properties can only be set using the constructor of the class. In that case, the DataContractSerializer can be replaced using the CreateSerializer method. For more information about data contracts, see Using Data Contracts.
For more information about using the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior to replace the IDataContractSurrogate returned by the DataContractSurrogate property, see Data Contract Surrogates.
The following example finds the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior in the collection of behavior for an operation and resets the MaxItemsInObjectGraph and IgnoreExtensionDataObject properties.
Private Sub DataContractBehavior() Dim b As New WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message) Dim baseAddress As New Uri("http://localhost:1066/calculator") Dim sh As New ServiceHost(GetType(Calculator), baseAddress) sh.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(ICalculator), b, "") ' Find the ContractDescription of the operation to find. Dim cd As ContractDescription = sh.Description.Endpoints(0).Contract Dim myOperationDescription As OperationDescription = cd.Operations.Find("Add") ' Find the serializer behavior. Dim serializerBehavior As DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior = _ myOperationDescription.Behaviors.Find _ (Of DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior)() ' If the serializer is not found, create one and add it. If serializerBehavior Is Nothing Then serializerBehavior = New DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior(myOperationDescription) myOperationDescription.Behaviors.Add(serializerBehavior) End If ' Change settings of the behavior. serializerBehavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 10000 serializerBehavior.IgnoreExtensionDataObject = True sh.Open() Console.WriteLine("Listening") Console.ReadLine() End Sub
