This class is a container for data type definitions for the XML Web service. Note especially that this class does not represent a collection of instances of the Type class, as its name might imply. Instead, it corresponds to the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) <types> element enclosed by the <definitions> root element. For more information about WSDL, see the specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl/.

The Types class has two read-only properties, Schemas and Extensions, representing the collections of data type definitions available to an XML Web service.
