WsdlExporter.GetGeneratedMetadata Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.ServiceModel.Description

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.dll

Returns an enumerable collection of generated MetadataSection objects.

public:
 override System::ServiceModel::Description::MetadataSet ^ GetGeneratedMetadata();

public override System.ServiceModel.Description.MetadataSet GetGeneratedMetadata ();

override this.GetGeneratedMetadata : unit -> System.ServiceModel.Description.MetadataSet

Public Overrides Function GetGeneratedMetadata () As MetadataSet

Returns

MetadataSet

An enumerable collection of generated MetadataSection objects that represents the metadata generated as a result of calls to ExportContract(ContractDescription), ExportEndpoint(ServiceEndpoint), or ExportEndpoints(IEnumerable<ServiceEndpoint>, XmlQualifiedName).

Examples

The following code example shows how to use the ExportEndpoint method to generate a set of MetadataSection objects from the endpoints in a collection of ServiceEndpoint objects called myServiceEndpoints.

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Description;

namespace WsdlExporterSample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WsdlExporter exporter = new WsdlExporter();
            exporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15;

            ServiceEndpoint [] myServiceEndpoints = new ServiceEndpoint[2];
            ContractDescription myDescription = new ContractDescription ("myContract");
            myServiceEndpoints[0] = new ServiceEndpoint(myDescription,new BasicHttpBinding(),new EndpointAddress("http://localhost/myservice"));
            myServiceEndpoints[1] = new ServiceEndpoint(myDescription,new BasicHttpBinding(),new EndpointAddress("http://localhost/myservice"));

            // Export all endpoints for each endpoint in collection.
            foreach (ServiceEndpoint endpoint in myServiceEndpoints)
            {
                exporter.ExportEndpoint(endpoint);
            }
            // If there are no errors, get the documents.
            MetadataSet metadataDocs = null;
            if (exporter.Errors.Count != 0)
            {
                metadataDocs = exporter.GetGeneratedMetadata();
            }
        }
    }
}

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim exporter As New WsdlExporter()
        exporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15

        Dim myServiceEndpoints() As ServiceEndpoint = New ServiceEndpoint(1) {}
        Dim myDescription As New ContractDescription("myContract")
        myServiceEndpoints(0) = New ServiceEndpoint(myDescription, New BasicHttpBinding(), New EndpointAddress("http://localhost/myservice"))
        myServiceEndpoints(1) = New ServiceEndpoint(myDescription, New BasicHttpBinding(), New EndpointAddress("http://localhost/myservice"))

        'Export all endpoints for each endpoint in collection.
        For Each endpoint As ServiceEndpoint In myServiceEndpoints
            exporter.ExportEndpoint(endpoint)
        Next

        'If there are no errors, get the documents.
        Dim metadataDocs As MetadataSet
        metadataDocs = Nothing

        If (exporter.Errors.Count = 0) Then
            metadataDocs = exporter.GetGeneratedMetadata()
        End If
    End Sub

End Module

Remarks

Use the GetGeneratedMetadata property to get a collection of all the metadata generated as a result of any number of calls to ExportContract, ExportEndpoint, or ExportEndpoints.

It is recommended that you check the base Errors property to determine whether any errors occurred before you retrieve the metadata.
