String Restriction

[Dino Chiesa [Microsoft]]

Mauricio,
you have a couple of options.
You can do the validation and checking on the client side,
or you can do it on the server (Receiver) side.

For #1, the class generated from wsdl.exe or xsd.exe or "Add Web Reference"
does not enforce string length restrictions, or other restrictions. You
can manually augment the generated classes with such intelligence, if you
wish.

For #2, you can validate a message against a given schema. This article
tells how:

You can use one or the other, or both options.

Dino,
I'll check the #2 (because I don't have control over the client), and I let
you know. Thank you so much.
