This seems like a simple question, but I haven’t been able to find the answer online via many Google searches. I have a C# web service and, when I visit its ASMX page in the browser, for a particular method it always has the following:
“The following is a sample SOAP 1.1 request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values.”
Likewise for SOAP 1.2 and HTTP POST. What I want to know is how I replace the placeholders shown, which are things like:
<myParameter>string</myParameter>
Where ‘string’ is the placeholder. And in the response:
<xsd:schema>schema</xsd:schema>xml
Where ‘schema’ and ‘xml’ are the placeholders. I’ve been using another web service that has these placeholders filled out with example values for the parameters and responses, and I would like to define such examples for my own web methods, too. I was able to describe the entire method with the following:
[WebMethod(Description="Does awesome things.")]
But I have not found such a thing for the individual parameters of a web method.
By default DefaultWsdlHelpGenerator.aspx is called to generate the “help” page.
You can set another (or modified) template with the wsdlHelpGenerator Element in your web.config file.
