Abstract classes defines WebMethod, this doesn't inherit?

[svendtofte]

Hello,

I've used wsdl.exe, to generate stub code for a WS at work. an example
of the stub code is:
=============== ===========
/// <remarks/>
[System.Web.Serv ices.WebService BindingAttribut e(
Name="NavigateP ublicationTarge tBinding",
Namespace="http ://rep.oio.dk/gentofte.dk/xml/wsdl/2005/09/12/")]
public abstract class NavigatePublica tionTarget :
System.Web.Serv ices.WebService
{

/// <remarks/>
[System.Web.Serv ices.WebMethodA ttribute()]
[System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. SoapDocumentMet hodAttribute(
"http://rep.oio.dk/gentofte.dk/xml/wsdl/2005/09/12/GetChildNodes",

Use=System.Web. Services.Descri ption.SoapBindi ngUse.Literal,

ParameterStyle= System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. SoapParameterSt yle.Bare)]
[return: System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute(
"PublicationNod eCollectionResp onse",
Namespace="http ://rep.oio.dk/gentofte.dk/xml/schemas/2005/09/12")]
public abstract PublicationNode CollectionRespo nseType
GetChildNodes([System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute(

Namespace="http ://rep.oio.dk/gentofte.dk/xml/schemas/2005/09/12",
DataType="anyUR I")] string NodeIdentifier) ;
..............
}
=============== ===========

There's alot of crap I'm not entirely sure what does. But the method
signature is abstract, and noted with a "WebMethodAttri bute" (need to
be "WebMethod" ? Why does wsdl.exe use the other?).

If I inherit from this, why does it not work? Do I need to do something
special in the inherited class? It could look like attributes does not
inherit. True?

Hi Svend,

I believe you question concerns attribute's usage:

1) Concerning you comment - "and noted with a "WebMethodAttri bute" (need to
be "WebMethod" ? Why does wsdl.exe use the other?).", notice that when
defining attributes on classes or class members you can simply ommit the
"Attribute" suffix of the full attribute name.

2) Concerning attributes inheritance: an attribute tag inherance depends of
the AttributeUsageA ttribute.Inheri ted property.

Hi Abel,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I guess the fundamental question I'm
asking, is about inheritability of attributes. I posted in this group,
because I imagine that someone before me, have had to implement an
interface, specified by an externally delivered WSDL file, using the
stub code generated by wsdl.exe. As it looks, I can't figure out, if
the attributes that wsdl.exe puts into the stub code are ALL
inheritable or not. Apparently, since it's not working, something would
seem to indicate it's not inherited.

This is a little annoying, as I then cannot have a strong typing
between the stub generated code, and my own derived code. Instead, I
need to take the actual generated file, and modify it, and hope I do
not modify it incorrectly.

Svend
