When overridden in a derived class, allows a SOAP extension access to the memory buffer containing the SOAP request or response.
Syntax
Parameters
- stream
Returns
A System.IO.Stream representing a new memory buffer that this SOAP extension can modify.
Remarks
SoapExtension.ChainStream(System.IO.Stream) ensures that SOAP extensions with the highest priority can modify the actual data closest to the SOAP message sent or returned over the wire.
SOAP extensions should save references of the System.IO.Stream passed into SoapExtension.ChainStream(System.IO.Stream) and the System.IO.Stream returned from SoapExtension.ChainStream(System.IO.Stream). If the SOAP extension is configured to run with a XML Web service method, the System.IO.Stream passed into SoapExtension.ChainStream(System.IO.Stream) contains the serialized SOAP request at the SoapMessageStage.BeforeDeserialize System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage. Similarily, the System.IO.Stream reference returned from SoapExtension.ChainStream(System.IO.Stream) is written into when the serialization occurs and thus contains the serialized SOAP response in the SoapMessageStage.AfterSerialize System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage.
Requirements
Assembly: System.Web.Services (in System.Web.Services.dll)
