On my current project, I need to consume a web service from a Windows Client, the web service is decorated with a custom attribute on the server side that causes the SOAP message to be compressed, this code was written by another developer but I think he got it from
here. In order to uncompress it on the client, I needed to reference the assembly that contained the SoapExtension in my client and add the following section to the app.config:
<system.web>
<webServices>
<soapExtensionTypes>
<add type="myCompany.myProject.WebServices.SoapExtensions.CompressionExtension,myCompany.myProject.CompressionExtensionLib"
priority="3" group="High" />
soapExtensionTypes>
webServices>
system.web>
The first part of the type is the fully qualified class name, the second part is the namespace.
