Properties

	Name	Description
	Count	Gets the number of .NET Framework code entities that belong to a Web service method to which a SOAP message is being mapped.
	ElementName	Get the name of the mapped element. (Inherited from XmlMapping.)
	Item	Gets an item that contains internal type mapping information for a .NET Framework code entity that belongs to a Web service method being mapped to a SOAP message.
	Namespace	Gets the namespace of the mapped element. (Inherited from XmlMapping.)
	TypeName	Gets the name of the .NET Framework type being mapped to the data type of an XML Schema element that represents a SOAP message.
	TypeNamespace	Gets the namespace of the .NET Framework type being mapped to the data type of an XML Schema element that represents a SOAP message.
	XsdElementName	Gets the name of the XSD element of the mapping. (Inherited from XmlMapping.)

Remarks

The XmlMembersMapping class is not used directly. Instead, it is used:

• By the Wsdl.exe tool, or the ServiceDescriptionImporter class, while generating client proxy classes or abstract server classes from a WSDL document. The WSDL document specifies the use of the SOAP protocol.

• To initialize XmlSerializer objects while the .NET Framework is initializing a SOAP Web service or client.

• By the ServiceDescriptionReflector class while creating ServiceDescription objects from classes that are identified as SOAP Web services.

The XmlMembersMapping class is a substitute for the XmlTypeMapping class for mapping between Web service methods and messages. It is used to contain any of the following entities belonging to a SOAP Web service method:

• Input parameters.

• Output parameters and a return value.

• Request SOAP headers.

• Response SOAP headers.

Specifically, the class represents mappings for a WSDL message definition, according to the following choices:

• For a Web service method that uses SOAP encoding, the top-level ElementName and TypeName properties pertain to a parent, wrapper element. The message parts are represented by array members. However, in the rare case when the Web service operation uses document style combined with a wrapped binding to a .NET Framework method plus SOAP encoding, the top-level ElementName and TypeName properties pertain to the single <part> element that appears in a generated WSDL document.

• For a Web service method that makes literal use of XML Schema definitions: If a Web service message or operation uses a wrapped binding to a .NET Framework method or defines a single message part, the top-level ElementName and TypeName properties pertain to the part. If there are multiple parts (the atypical case), the top-level ElementName and TypeName properties pertain to a parent, wrapper element. The parts are represented by the Count and indexed array access properties. In addition, the XSD <any> element receives special treatment.
