    text
    copied!<p>I am running a custom application that imports WSDLs and generates C# source code, using WSDLImporter class to read in contracts. </p> <p>XSD sequence types are translated into native arrays. What options can I set in order to be able to generate custom collection types?</p> <p>Schema:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xs:complexType name="getAllSourcesResponse"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="return" type="tns:Source"/&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; </code></pre> <p>becomes code:</p> <pre><code>public partial class getAllSourcesResponse { [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("return", Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)] public PaymentSource[] @return; public getAllSourcesResponse() { } public getAllSourcesResponse(Source[] @return) { this.@return = @return; } } </code></pre> <p>I looked into SvcUtil.exe code, it appears to do the following, but it does not seem to make any difference in what code my application produces.</p> <pre><code>WsdlImporter importer = ... XsdDataContractImporter contractImporter = new XsdDataContractImporter(codeCompileUnit); ImportOptions importOptions = new ImportOptions(); importOptions.ReferencedCollectionTypes.Add( typeof(System.Collections.Generic.IList&lt;&gt;)); contractImporter.Options = importOptions; importer.State.Add(typeof(XsdDataContractImporter), contractImporter); </code></pre> <hr> <p>@CasperOne, this schema snippet</p> <pre><code>&lt;xs:complexType name="getClassesForPackageResponse"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="return" type="xs:string"/&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; </code></pre> <p>generates a string[] type: </p> <pre><code>public partial class getClassesForPackageResponse { public string[] @return; public getClassesForPackageResponse() {} public getClassesForPackageResponse(string[] @return) { this.@return = @return; } } </code></pre> <p>This does not cause string collection to use List: </p> <pre><code>ImportOptions importOptions = new ImportOptions(); importOptions.ReferencedCollectionTypes.Add( typeof(System.Collections.Generic.List&lt;string&gt;)); </code></pre>
