The following list identifies tools and classes that use the System.Xml.Serialization.CodeIdentifiers:

• The Web Services Description Language Tool (Wsdl.exe), or the System.Web.Services.Description.ServiceDescriptionImporter class, while generating client proxy classes or abstract server classes from a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document.

• The XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe) tool while generating classes from XML Schema Definition (XSD) documents.

• The System.Web.Services.Description.ServiceDescriptionReflector class while creating System.Web.Services.Description.ServiceDescription objects from classes that are identified as Web services via the System.Web.Services.WebServiceAttribute attribute.

Instead of using the System.Xml.Serialization.CodeIdentifiers class directly, use the aforementioned tools or classes. If you want to control the names of code entities that are bound to XML Schema or Web service definitions, use the associated attributes.

Depending on its scope, a System.Xml.Serialization.CodeIdentifiers instance can be used to maintain the names of any of the items in the following list:

• Types, methods, or fields.

• The parameters and return value of a method corresponding to WSDL input and output messages.

• Objects within a System.Web.Services.Description.ServiceDescription instance that can be serialized to a WSDL document.

Typically, the class is used to avoid naming collisions between code entities within a particular scope, including collisions with the name of a containing entity.
