Property Value

The binding an XML Web service method is implementing an operation for. The default is the name of the XML Web service with "Soap" appended.

Remarks

A binding, as defined by Web Services Description Language (WSDL), is similar to an interface in that it defines a concrete set of operations. With respect to XML Web services created using ASP.NET, each XML Web service method is an operation within a binding. XML Web service methods are members of either the default binding for an XML Web service or a binding specified within a WebServiceBindingAttribute applied to an XML Web service. An XML Web service can implement multiple bindings when multiple WebServiceBindingAttribute attributes are applied to an XML Web service.

Once one or more WebServiceBindingAttribute attributes are applied to an XML Web service, a SoapDocumentMethodAttribute or SoapRpcMethodAttribute can be applied to individual XML Web service methods to indicate the binding operation implemented by a particular XML Web service method. Set the Binding property of SoapDocumentMethodAttribute or SoapRpcMethodAttribute to specify the binding an XML Web service method is implementing an operation for. Only one SoapDocumentMethodAttribute or SoapRpcMethodAttribute can be applied to an XML Web service method. Therefore, an XML Web service method can only implement an operation for one binding.
