ContractNamespaceAttribute Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Specifies the CLR namespace and XML namespace of the data contract.
Assembly: System.Runtime.Serialization (in System.Runtime.Serialization.dll)
The ContractNamespaceAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ContractNamespaceAttribute | Initializes a new instance of the ContractNamespaceAttribute class using a specified namespace. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ClrNamespace | Gets or sets the CLR namespace of the data contract type. |
![]() | ContractNamespace | Gets the namespace of the data contract members. |
| 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 the Object 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.) |
![]() | 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.) |
Apply the ContractNamespaceAttribute attribute to an assembly that contains types to which the DataContractAttribute has been applied. The ContractNamespaceAttribute enables you to set a namespace that is different than the one generated when the type is serialized.
If you are using a type to conform to an existing data contract, you must match the namespace of the existing contract by using the ContractNamespaceAttribute (or the Namespace property of the DataContractAttribute class).
