.NET Framework (current version)

Other Versions

Instructs the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) infrastructure to use the DataContractSerializer.

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

Inheritance Hierarchy

System::Object

System.ServiceModel::DataContractFormatAttribute

Syntax

C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Class | AttributeTargets::Method | AttributeTargets::Interface, 
	Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)]
public ref class DataContractFormatAttribute sealed : Attribute

Constructors

	Name	Description
	DataContractFormatAttribute()	Initializes a new instance of the DataContractFormatAttribute class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Style	Gets or sets the SOAP style of the serialized data.
	TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.(Inherited from Attribute.)

Methods

	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()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	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.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

	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.)

Remarks

This attribute is similar to the XmlSerializerFormatAttribute attribute. Both attributes can be applied to either a method or a class.

A method can have either of the two attributes applied, but not both. Any operation that has neither applied will use the attribute applied to the containing class. If the containing class does not have either attribute applied, the DataContractSerializer is used.

Applying the attribute also causes a DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior to be created at run time. The behavior allows customization at run time of the serializer behavior.

Examples

The following example applies the DataContractFormatAttribute and sets the Style property to Rpc. The RPC style is described in the Web Service Description Language specification (WSDL).
