BodyWriter Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents the writer of the message body.
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
The BodyWriter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | BodyWriter | Initializes a new instance of the BodyWriter class that explicitly indicates whether to buffer. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | IsBuffered | Gets a value that indicates whether the write method can be called multiple times. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | 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 | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | OnWriteBodyContents | When implemented, provides an extensibility point when the body contents are written. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | WriteBodyContents | Writes out the contents of the message body. |
A message consists of headers and a body. The headers are buffered and the body is streamed. Because the body is streamed, the user cannot pass the actual content of the body to a message. Instead the user must pass a class that knows how to write the body when required to do so. This is done by passing a class derived from BodyWriter to the Message. A message calls the class derived from BodyWriter whenever it requires the body to be written using an XmlWriter.
