<wsdlHelpGenerator> Element

Specifies the XML Web service Help page (an .aspx file) that is displayed to a browser when the browser navigates directly to an ASMX XML Web services page.

<configuration>
   <system.Web>
      <webServices>
         <wsdlHelpGenerator>

<wsdlHelpGenerator href="path.aspx"/>

Required Attribute

Remarks

You can create your own Help page containing images and text for your XML Web service application. The following code example is an excerpt from a Web.config file that sets the Help page to a custom MyServiceHelpPage.aspx file in the docs folder beneath the folder containing the main application files and the Web.config file.

The value of href is a file path, not a URL. The file path can be relative or absolute. If it is relative, it is relative to the location of the configuration file.

Example

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <webServices>
         <wsdlHelpGenerator href="docs/MyServiceHelpPage.aspx"/>
      </webServices>
   </system.web>
</configuration>
