System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializationReader.ReadReferencedElement Method

Deserializes an object from a SOAP-encoded multiRef XML element.

Syntax

protected object ReadReferencedElement ()

Returns

The value of the referenced element in the document.

Remarks

The protected members of System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializationReader are intended for use only by derived classes that are used internally within the .NET Framework XML serialization infrastructure.

The XmlSerializationReader.ReadReferencedElement method obtains the XML Schema data type by reading the xsi:type attribute of the multiRef element. The prefix xsi refers to the instance of the XML Schema namespace.

SOAP encoding allows a unique XML element to appear once within a SOAP message as a multiRef element identified by an id attribute. The id value can be referenced multiple times using href attributes (or ref attributes in SOAP 1.2) in substitute elements.

SOAP encoding is described in Section 5 of the SOAP 1.1 specification.
