HttpMethodAttribute Class
Applying this attribute to an XML Web service client using HTTP-GET or HTTP-POST, sets the types that serialize the parameters sent to an XML Web service method and read the response from the XML Web service method. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: System.Web.Services (in System.Web.Services.dll)
The HttpMethodAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | HttpMethodAttribute() | Initializes a new instance of the HttpMethodAttribute class. |
![]() | HttpMethodAttribute(Type, Type) | Initializes a new instance of the HttpMethodAttribute. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ParameterFormatter | Gets or sets a Type that serializes parameters sent from an XML Web service client to the XML Web service method. |
![]() | ReturnFormatter | Gets or sets a Type that deserializes the response from an XML Web service method. |
![]() | TypeId | When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | 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 | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | IsDefaultAttribute | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
If an XML Web service client calls an XML Web service method using HTTP-GET, ReturnFormatter must be set to XmlReturnReader and ParameterFormatter set to UrlParameterWriter. XML Web service clients invoking a XML Web service using HTTP-POST must set ReturnFormatter to XmlReturnReader and ParameterFormatter to HtmlFormParameterWriter.
The following example is a proxy class generated by the Wsdl.exe utility for calling an XML Web service utility using HTTP-POST. The Wsdl.exe automatically supplies the correct types for ReturnFormatter and ParameterFormatter, along with specifying that the proxy class inherits from HttpPostClientProtocol.
[System::Xml::Serialization::XmlRootAttribute(Namespace="http://tempuri.org/",IsNullable=true)] public ref class UserName { public: String^ Name; String^ Domain; }; public ref class MyUser: public System::Web::Services::Protocols::HttpPostClientProtocol { public: MyUser() { this->Url = "http://www.contoso.com/username.asmx"; } [System::Web::Services::Protocols::HttpMethodAttribute(System::Web::Services::Protocols::XmlReturnReader::typeid,System::Web::Services::Protocols::HtmlFormParameterWriter::typeid)] UserName^ GetUserName() { return (dynamic_cast<UserName^>(this->Invoke( "GetUserName", (String::Concat( this->Url, "/GetUserName" )), gcnew array<Object^>(0) ))); } System::IAsyncResult^ BeginGetUserName( System::AsyncCallback^ callback, Object^ asyncState ) { return this->BeginInvoke( "GetUserName", (String::Concat( this->Url, "/GetUserName" )), gcnew array<Object^>(0), callback, asyncState ); } UserName^ EndGetUserName( System::IAsyncResult^ asyncResult ) { return (dynamic_cast<UserName^>(this->EndInvoke( asyncResult ))); } };
