xml-rpc.net.2.5.0.zip documentation

New features, changes, and fixed issues:

• Added <i8> to support 64-bit long integer values.
• Added support for more ISO8601 date formats. AllowNonStandardDateTime flag is now deprecated. The following formats are now accepted by default, with the '-' and ‘:’ separators being optional.

  • yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ
  • yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss�hh
  • yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss�hh:mmNote: the XML-RPC spec describes the format as 19980717T14:08:55.
• Added AllowAutoRedirect property to IXmlRpcProxy. Default behaviour remains the same (property set to true).
• Moved to Visual Studio 2008.
• Discontinued support for .NET 1.0 and 1.1.
• Fixed issues:
  • Issue 55 : change XmlRpcProxyGen so that FileIOPermission is not required for calls to Create.
  • Issue 56: Maintain XML-RPC struct member ordering in XmlRpcStruct after deserialization.
  • Issue 65: When deserializing request, check that the number of parameters is consistent with the method signature.
  • Issue 70: Allow structs/classes to have members or arrays of the same type as the parent type.

Work in Progress

This is a snapshot of work in progress.

xml-rpc.net.3.0.0.270-snapshot.zip documentation

Build 270

• More graceful handling of case where illegal XML characters are rejected during serialization and deserialization.
• Added generic EndInvoke method to XmlRpcClientProtocol so return type can be used for deserialization.
• Added support for cookie and response headers for Silverlight and Windows Phone.

Build 266

• Support for easier logging of request and response XML.
• Support for mapping .NET enums to/from XML-RPC string values using XmlRpcEnumMapping attribute.
• Fixed problem with logging and decompression of response stream.
• Fixed problem with return type in XmlRpcClientProtocol.EndInvoke.
• Added unit testing for Silverlight build.
• Switch to Silverlight 4 only in order to support credentials using ClientHttp stack.
• Now throws XmlRpcUnsupportedTypeException when a type has an indexer property.

Build 241

• Fixes problem with mapping <nil /> onto type Object.

Build 238

• Support for <nil> XML-RPC extension.
• Support for Silverlight 3 and 4.
• Support for Windows Phone 7.
• .NET enum types can be mapped to/from XML-RPC <i4> and <i8> values. (more)
• New UseEmptyElementTags property on IXmlRpcProxy. If this is set to true full element tags will be generated, for example <string></string> instead of <string />. The default setting of false for this property results is consistent with previous releases. This new feature provides compatibility with servers implemented with XML-RPC libraries which don’t support empty tags, such XMLRPC++.
• New UseNagleAlgorithm property on IXmlRpcProxy. With its default value of false calls will be quicker where small XML-RPC requests are being sent.
• Separate client and server assemblies � client assembly compatible with .NET Client Profile.
• Changed directory structure within distribution zip file to avoid problem when opening the file in Windows Explorer.
• Moved to Visual Studio 2010.
• Fixed issues:
  • Issue 55 : change XmlRpcProxyGen so that FileIOPermission is not required for calls to Create.
  • Issue 56: Maintain XML-RPC struct member ordering in XmlRpcStruct after deserialization.
  • Issue 65: When deserializing request, check that the number of parameters is consistent with the method signature.
  • Issue 70: Allow structs/classes to have members or arrays of the same type as the parent type.
  • Issue 74: Fixed case where if a proxy call is made with a ResponseEvent assigned, the call crashes with a “Stream Closed” error.
  • Issue 77: Fixed exception when AllowStringFaultCode is set to true. Now string fault codes are handled as well as integer fault code by default.
  • Issue 78: XmlRpcServiceInfo.GetXmlRpcType now handles case of NonSerializedAttribute on all types.
  • Issue 83: Change to prevent internal server error when viewing auto-generated help on Mono based servers.
  • Issue 86: XmlRpcDocWriter.WriteStruct now writes XmlRpcMember.Description.
  • Issue 89: Workaround on XmlRpcListenerService for cases where closing the request stream was resulting in an InvalidOperationException.
• Changes:
  • Custom nullable types � XmlRpcBoolean, XmlRpcDateTime, XmlRpcDouble, XmlRpcInt � have been discontinued. Use the standard nullable types bool?, DateTime?, double?, int?.
  • A server implementation now needs to reference the CookComputing.XmlRpcServer assembly in addition to the CookComputing.XmlRpc assembly.
  • Default value for new UseNagleAlgorithm. By default it was previously always false.

• Switch from NAnt to MSBuild and now builds a .NET 2.0 assembly as well as a .NET 1.0 assembly. Note that the 1.0 assembly can be used on all versions of the .NET runtime and should be used where backwards compatibility is required. The 2.0 assembly contains enhancements which rely on features of .NET 2.0 such as generics and can only be used on the .NET 2.0 and later versions of the runtime (more).
