XmlReflectionImporter Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Generates mappings to XML schema element declarations, including literal XML Schema Definition (XSD) message parts in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document for .NET Framework types or Web service method information.
Assembly: System.Xml.Serialization (in System.Xml.Serialization.dll)
The XmlReflectionImporter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | XmlReflectionImporter() | Initializes a new instance of the XmlReflectionImporter class. |
| XmlReflectionImporter(String) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlReflectionImporter class using the specified default XML namespace. |
| XmlReflectionImporter(XmlAttributeOverrides) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlReflectionImporter class using the specified XML serialization overrides. |
| XmlReflectionImporter(XmlAttributeOverrides, String) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlReflectionImporter class using the specified XML serialization overrides and default XML namespace. |
| 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.) |
| ImportTypeMapping(Type) | Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a specified .NET Framework type. |
| ImportTypeMapping(Type, String) | Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET Framework type, using the specified type and namespace. |
| ImportTypeMapping(Type, XmlRootAttribute) | Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET Framework type, using the specified type and attribute. |
| ImportTypeMapping(Type, XmlRootAttribute, String) | Generates a mapping to an XML Schema element for a .NET Framework type, using the specified type, attribute, and namespace. |
| IncludeType | Includes mappings for a type for later use when import methods are invoked. |
| IncludeTypes | Includes mappings for derived types for later use when import methods are invoked. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The XmlReflectionImporter class is not used directly. Instead, it is used as follows:
By a Web service or client, including during initialization.
To initialize an XmlSerializer object.
By the XML Schema Definition tool (Xsd.exe) while the tool generates XML schemas from types in a run-time assembly file.
By the Web Services Description Language tool (Wsdl.exe) while the tool generates client proxy classes or abstract server classes from a WSDL document.
The XmlReflectionImporter class is used for Web services when a service or client specifies:
Literal use, which indicates that the contents of SOAP message parameters and return values (or request and response documents) are literally specified with XML schema definitions.
Non-SOAP implementations of Web services using the HTTP-GET and HTTP-POST operations.
