ScriptMethodAttribute.XmlSerializeString Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether all return types are serialized as XML, which includes string types.

public:
 property bool XmlSerializeString { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool XmlSerializeString { get; set; }
member this.XmlSerializeString : bool with get, set
Public Property XmlSerializeString As Boolean

Property Value

true if all return types are serialized as XML; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Examples

The following example shows how to apply ScriptMethodAttribute to a Web method with the XmlSerializeString property set to true. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ScriptMethodAttribute class.

Remarks

When this property is set to false, all return types are serialized as XML, except string, which is interpreted as XML markup. If the value is false, and if the return type is a string, and if the string does not contain XML markup that corresponds to a well-formed XML document, the succeeded callback function will be invoked but the resulting serialized string will be null.

The value of XmlSerializeString is ignored when the ResponseFormat property is set to Json.
