<wsdlHelpGenerator> Element
Specifies the Web service Help page (an .aspx file) that is displayed to a browser when the browser navigates directly to an ASMX Web services page.
<wsdlHelpGenerator href="path.aspx"/>
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| href | Required attribute. The file path to the Help page. |
Child Elements
None.
Parent Elements
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| configuration | The root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications. |
| system.web | Specifies the root element for the ASP.NET configuration section. |
| webServices | Controls the settings of Web services deployed using ASP.NET and of Web service clients running on the .NET Framework. |
You can create your own Help page containing images and text for your 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.
