      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.PatternMatcher" /> class performs pattern matching using regular expressions to find Web method return values in text encoded in the body of an HTTP response. The <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.PatternMatcher" /> class is called by the client-side <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.TextReturnReader" /> class, which deserializes Web service return values.</para>
      <para>Text pattern matching provides a way for Web services to retrieve HTML content without converting it to XML documents that must be bound to XML Schema definitions. Regular expression search targets are specified in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document via match XML elements within text elements. Both elements belong to the namespace http://microsoft.com/wsdl/mime/textMatching/.</para>
      <para>When match elements are specified in a WSDL document, the Wsdl.exe tool applies <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.MatchAttribute" /> attributes to the corresponding Web methods in the client proxy class that is generated. A <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.MatchAttribute" /> attribute's properties establish the search criteria for a <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.PatternMatcher" /> instance.</para>
      <para>A developer typically does not need to directly use <see cref="T:System.Web.Services.Protocols.PatternMatcher" />.</para>
