Class SurrogateContract

Describes a type that is serialized by first converting it to a surrogate type.

public sealed class SurrogateContract : DataContract

Inherited Members: DataContract.DataType

DataContract.ToString()

object.Equals(object)

object.Equals(object, object)

object.GetHashCode()

object.GetType()

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)

Remarks

The serialized form is exactly that of SurrogateType. This contract exists so that consumers can recognize the .NET type that a payload maps onto.

Initializes a new instance of the SurrogateContract class.

public SurrogateContract(Type dataType, DataContract surrogateType)

dataType Type: The .NET type that this contract describes.
surrogateType DataContract: The contract of the type that is actually serialized.

Gets the kind of this contract, which identifies the concrete subclass.

public override DataContractKind Kind { get; }

Gets the contracts that this contract directly refers to.

public override IEnumerable<DataContract> ReferencedContracts { get; }

The sequence may contain the same contract more than once, and (for recursive types) may transitively include this contract itself.

Gets the contract of the type that is actually serialized.

public DataContract SurrogateType { get; }
