Obfuscating attribute from WSDL.

[pradeep_TP]

hello everybody,

I have simple web method in a web service that is returning a data of a user
defined type. When I refer to this web service from my client application, I
can see this user defined type appearing as a complex type data type inside
the WSDL file. The user defined type is an entity class with two properties
that is setting and returning a string value.

I want that one of the attributes inside this class to be hidden from the
clients using this webservice. I want to somehow obfuscate the first propery
in the entity class without actually modifying the entity class. Is there any
way that I can attribute a property so that it doesn’t get pumped out of the
SOAP in the
WSDL.?

Thanks!

Take a look at the XmlIgnoreAttribute.
