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.

![]() | Equals(Object) | This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Returns the hash code for this instance.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | 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(Object) | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |

![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32) | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr) | 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.
