Gets a collection of discovery documents.

public:
 property System::Web::Services::Discovery::DiscoveryClientDocumentCollection ^ Documents { System::Web::Services::Discovery::DiscoveryClientDocumentCollection ^ get(); };

Public ReadOnly Property Documents As DiscoveryClientDocumentCollection

Property Value

DiscoveryClientDocumentCollection

A DiscoveryClientDocumentCollection representing the collection of discovery documents found.

Examples

The following code example is a Web Form that populates a DataGrid with the details about the documents in the Documents property discovered during XML Web services discovery. The PopulateGrid method fills the DataGrid with the results from a DiscoverAny invocation followed by a call to ResolveAll.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

The Documents collection is populated during invocations to the Discover, DiscoverAny, ResolveAll and ResolveOneLevel methods. During invocations to the Discover and DiscoverAny methods, if the supplied URL is a valid discovery document, that document is added to the Documents collection. During invocations to the ResolveAll and ResolveOneLevel methods, valid discovery document references in the References collection are added to the Documents collection.
