Types Element (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The <types> element in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file is a container for defining the various data types used in exchanging messages.
The following code example from Calc.wsdl contains the <types> element:
<types>
<schema targetNamespace='http://tempuri.org/type'
xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'
xmlns:SOAP-ENC='https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'
xmlns:wsdl='https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'>
</schema>
</types>
In this example, the schema in the <types> element is simple and does not define data types because the <message> elements in the WSDL file define the data types of various message parts exchanged in a SOAP message.
