Defining String parameter max length?

Is there a way of defining the maximum length of a string parameter to
a web service in .Net?

I assumed that there would be an Xml... attribute that I could apply
to a string definition in the class that would control the generation
of the necessary maxlength attribute in the WSDL but I can't seem to
find one.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
John.

I don't believe there is one. Neither are there attributes to control other
schema facets.

John - thank you very much for your reply.

It seems to be a surprising ommission to me - given how big Microsoft
are on the position of .Net & Web Services.

Do you know if there's any way of hooking into the automated process
that generates the WSDL to add this kind of functionlity myself?

Thanks,
John.

Thank you very much for your response John.

This seems like quite a big omission on Microsoft's part, given how
strongly they position .Net in terms of Web Services.

Do you know if it's possible to hook into the code that auto-generates
the WSDL and write custom code to achieve this?

Many thanks,
John.

I'd like to create a "custom output facility". In other words, I want an object whose use is similar to std::cout/std::cerr, but offers more flexibility. Instead of simply writing the parameter to stdout/stderr, I'd like it to write to stdout, to a file, and/or call a logging function. So my output function might look something like this: OutputFacility& OutputFacility::put(const std::string& s) { cout << s; // print to stdout

I've a webservice with a string parameter. I call this webservice passing a string that is 1129 chars length. On the webservice, the received string is 1146 length (I tested sizes with string.length property). String's contents seem be teh same, so I think there is some encoding difference (is this possibile?). The problem is that I sign this string, so signature validation fails :( What can be the problem?

Is there a way that I can define a WebMethod with a parameter that is a fixed length string?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
