Remarks

Use the MessageContractAttribute attribute to specify the structure of the SOAP envelope for a particular message. Your service can then use the message as a parameter or return type in service operations.

To implement a message contract for a type, annotate it with MessageContractAttribute and annotate one or more of the class's fields or properties with MessageBodyMemberAttribute, MessageHeaderAttribute, or MessageHeaderArrayAttribute.

NoteNote:

System.ServiceModel.MessageParameterAttribute is not a message contract attribute and cannot be used in conjunction with MessageContractAttribute.

Use the Action and ReplyAction properties to specify the value of the <Action> element in the SOAP message.

  • Use the IsWrapped property to indicate whether the message body has a wrapper element.

  • If the message body has a wrapper element, use the WrapperName property to specify the name of the wrapping element.

  • Use the WrapperNamespace property to specify the namespace of the wrapping element.

Examples

The following code example shows the use of the MessageContractAttribute to control the SOAP envelope structure for both the request message and the response message, and the use of both the MessageHeaderAttribute (to create a SOAP header for the response message) and the MessageBodyMemberAttribute (to specify the bodies of both the request and response message). The code example contains an example of each message when sent.
