Change Object name in generated WSDL

Good day,

I have a Web Method that uses a simple custom object, name Client, as a parameter, and also returns a Client.

However, in the generated WSDL, I want "element name="Client" " to be changed to "element name="THE_CLIENT", but without changing the class name.

Is there a way to specify that an object should have another name in the wsdl, Something like [WebMethod(Description="DESCRIPTION")], but for a class?

Thank you, have a nice day!

Hi,

I think this link provide all information you need:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2baksw0z.aspx

By default, an XML element name is determined by the class or member name. In a simple class named Book, a field named ISBN will produce an XML element tag <ISBN>, as shown in the following example.

Visual Basic

Copy Code

PublicClass BookPublic ISBNAsStringEndClass' When an instance of the Book class is serialized, it might' produce this XML:' <ISBN>1234567890</ISBN>.

C#

Copy Code

publicclass Book{publicstring ISBN;}// When an instance of the Book class is serialized, it might// produce this XML:// <ISBN>1234567890</ISBN>.

This default behavior can be changed if you want to give the element a new name. The following code shows how an attribute enables this by setting theElementName property of aXmlElementAttribute.

Visual Basic

Copy Code

PublicClass TaxRates < XmlElement(ElementName ="TaxRate")> _Public ReturnTaxRateAsDecimalEndClass

C#

Copy Code

publicclass TaxRates{ [XmlElement(ElementName ="TaxRate")]public decimal ReturnTaxRate;}
