XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute Class
Applied to a Web service client proxy, enables you to specify an assembly that contains custom-made serializers.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute() | Initializes a new instance of the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute class. |
![]() | XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute(String^) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute class with the specified assembly name. |
![]() | XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute(String^, String^) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute class with the specified assembly name and location of the assembly. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AssemblyName | Gets or sets the name of the assembly that contains serializers for a specific set of types. |
![]() | CodeBase | Gets or sets the location of the assembly that contains the serializers. |
![]() | TypeId |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | 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.) |
Use the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute to increase the performance of a Web service client application.
A typical method of using this attribute is as follows:
Create a client proxy for a Web service.
Open the machine.config file.
Under the system.diagnostics element, add a value under the <switches> element to keep the compiled files:
<system.diagnostics> <switches> <add name="XmlSerialization.Compilation" value="4"/> </switches> </system.diagnostics>Compile the proxy.
Run the proxy application.
Open a command window and navigate to the \Temp directory used by the XmlSerializer to cache files.
cd %temp%
Find the last file created using the dir command with the /OD switch.
dir *.vb /OD
Compile the file into an assembly. Name the assembly.
Edit the original proxy code by applying the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute to the class. Specify the assembly name, as shown in the following C# code.
[XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute(AssemblyName="hello.serializer")] public class Hello: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol { // Proxy code not shown. }
<XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute(AssemblyName:="hello.serializer")> _ Public Class Hello Implements System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol ' Proxy code not shown. End Class
