Remarks

XML Web services discovery involves discovering the available XML Web services, given an URL. The URL typically points to a discovery document, which usually has a .disco file name extension. The discovery document, which is an XML document, contains references to information about the existence of XML Web services, such as a service description, XML Schema Definition (XSD) language schema, or another discovery document. This class represents the contents of the discovery document; where the References property contains a list of the references contained within the discovery document.

Constructors

DiscoveryDocument()

Initializes a new instance of the DiscoveryDocument class.

Fields

Namespace

Namespace of the discovery XML element of a discovery document.

Properties

References

A list of references contained within the discovery document.
