ExportOptions

Examples

The following example creates an instance of the ExportOptions class and adds a type (Possessions) to the collection returned by the KnownTypes property.

The XsdDataContractExporter then exports the schemas of the types, including the Possessions type added to the collection.

        }
        finally

    }

Remarks

The XsdDataContractExporter is used to generate XSD schemas from a type or assembly. You can also use the XsdDataContractImporter to generate .NET Framework code from a schema document.

For more information about importing and exporting schemas, see Schema Import and Export and Exporting Schemas from Classes.

The KnownTypes property is used by the DataContractSerializer to include types that can be read in an object graph. For more information about the data contract and known types, see Data Contract Known Types.

For more information about data contracts, see Using Data Contracts.

Constructors

ExportOptions()

Initializes a new instance of the ExportOptions class.

Properties

DataContractSurrogate	Gets or sets a serialization surrogate.
KnownTypes	Gets the collection of types that may be encountered during serialization or deserialization.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
