OperationContractAttribute::ReplyAction Property

 

Gets or sets the value of the SOAP action for the reply message of the operation.

Namespace:   System.ServiceModel
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

public:
property String^ ReplyAction {
	String^ get();
	void set(String^ value);
}

Property Value

Type: System::String^

The value of the SOAP action for the reply message.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

ReplyAction is null.

In addition to specifying a particular value for the action header of the reply message, you can also specify the string "*" (an asterisk). Specifying an asterisk in the service instructs WCF not to add a reply action to the message, which is useful if you are programming against messages directly. Specifying an asterisk in a client application instructs WCF not to validate the reply action.

The following example is a service that uses the Action and ReplyAction properties to explicitly control the SOAP actions of both the input and output (or reply) messages. It also uses the Name property to declare the name of the operation as exposed in metadata.
