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.

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Method)]
public ref class HttpMethodAttribute sealed : Attribute

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodHttpMethodAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the HttpMethodAttribute class.

System_CAPS_pubmethodHttpMethodAttribute(Type^, Type^)

Initializes a new instance of the HttpMethodAttribute.

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubpropertyParameterFormatter

Gets or sets a Type that serializes parameters sent from an XML Web service client to the XML Web service method.

System_CAPS_pubpropertyReturnFormatter

Gets or sets a Type that deserializes the response from an XML Web service method.

System_CAPS_pubpropertyTypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.(Inherited from Attribute.)

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodEquals(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.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.(Inherited from Attribute.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodIsDefaultAttribute()

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.(Inherited from Attribute.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodMatch(Object^)

When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubinterfaceSystem_CAPS_privmethod_Attribute::GetIDsOfNames(Guid%, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.)

System_CAPS_pubinterfaceSystem_CAPS_privmethod_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.)

System_CAPS_pubinterfaceSystem_CAPS_privmethod_Attribute::GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32%)

Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.)

System_CAPS_pubinterfaceSystem_CAPS_privmethod_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.

   {
      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 )));
   }
};
