SoapExtensionImporter Class
Provides a common interface and functionality for classes to generate code attributes that specify SOAP extensions.
Assembly: System.Web.Services (in System.Web.Services.dll)
The SoapExtensionImporter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | SoapExtensionImporter | Initializes a new instance of the SoapExtensionImporter class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ImportContext | Gets or sets the SoapProtocolImporter instance that invokes the ImportMethod method. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ImportMethod | When overridden in a derived class, adds code attribute declarations to any method that represents an operation in a binding. |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The SoapExtensionImporter abstract class exposes an abstract method, ImportMethod, which allows a derived class to add metadata to any method that represents an operation in a binding. The method itself is not an input method. The code attributes, which are added to all Web methods in a binding class, represent extensions to the SOAP Web services protocol, for example, for adding extra headers to an outgoing SOAP message or doing extra processing on an incoming SOAP message.
You can use a class derived from SoapExtensionImporterto extend the generation of client proxy code or abstract server code. You can use such a derived class in conjunction with a class derived from the abstract SoapExtension class, which extends run-time processing of SOAP messages on the client or service.
You can specify SoapExtensionImporter in a configuration file through the soapExtensionImporterTypes configuration element and its child add element. You can apply the configuration to:
An ASP.NET Web application: service or client.
A stand-alone .NET Framework application: client only.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
