Using a data type from a WSDL document to generate a C# class

When you generate the Actuate Information Delivery API source code, Microsoft .NET builds a C# class from each WSDL type definition.

For example, the Login type definition translates the following WSDL into the C# equivalent:

<s:complexType name="Login">

<s:sequence>

<s:element name="User" type="s:string" />

<s:element minOccurs="0" name="Password"
type="s:string" />

<s:element minOccurs="0" name="EncryptedPwd"
type="s:string" />

<s:element minOccurs="0" name="Credentials"

type="s:base64Binary" />

<s:element minOccurs="0" name="Domain"
type="s:string" />

<s:element minOccurs="0" name="UserSetting"
type="s:boolean" />

<s:element minOccurs="0" name="ValidateRoles"

type="s0:ArrayOfString" />

</s:sequence>

</s:complexType>

The C# class receives the name that appears in the WSDL type definition. The class defines the attributes and data types for each WSDL element. Applying a System.Xml.Serialization class, such as XmlElementAttribute, specifies how the .NET framework serializes and deserializes a C# attribute.

The following code shows the C# class definition for the Login class:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(
Namespace="http://schemas.actuate.com/actuate11")]

public class Login {

public string User;

public string Password;

public string EncryptedPwd;

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType=

"base64Binary")]

public System.Byte[ ] Credentials;

public string Domain;

public bool UserSetting;

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute( )]

public bool UserSettingSpecified;

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute(

String", IsNullable=false)]

public string[] ValidateRoles;

}
