During serialization, deserialization, and schema import and export, returns a data contract type that substitutes the specified type.
public:
Type ^ GetDataContractType(Type ^ type);public Type GetDataContractType(Type type);abstract member GetDataContractType : Type -> TypePublic Function GetDataContractType (type As Type) As TypeParameters
Returns
The Type to substitute for the type value. This type must be serializable by the DataContractSerializer. For example, it must be marked with the DataContractAttribute attribute or other mechanisms that the serializer recognizes.
Examples
The following example shows an implementation of the GetDataContractType method.
public Type GetDataContractType(Type type)
{
Console.WriteLine("GetDataContractType invoked");
Console.WriteLine("\t type name: {0}", type.Name);
// "Person" will be serialized as "PersonSurrogated"
// This method is called during serialization,
// deserialization, and schema export.
if (typeof(Person).IsAssignableFrom(type))
{
Console.WriteLine("\t returning PersonSurrogated");
return typeof(PersonSurrogated);
}
return type;
}
Public Function GetDataContractType(ByVal type As Type) As Type _
Implements IDataContractSurrogate.GetDataContractType
Console.WriteLine("GetDataContractType invoked")
Console.WriteLine(vbTab & "type name: {0}", type.Name)
' "Person" will be serialized as "PersonSurrogated"
' This method is called during serialization,
' deserialization, and schema export.
If GetType(Person).IsAssignableFrom(type) Then
Console.WriteLine(vbTab & "returning PersonSurrogated")
Return GetType(PersonSurrogated)
End If
Return type
End Function
