Remarks

For each SOAP operation in the Web service, add a method to the class and apply the SoapMethodAttribute attribute to the method. The method must have one parameter that is either a SoapEnvelope or an XML-serializable type, and it must return either a SoapEnvelope or an XML-serializable type. The SoapMethodAttribute allows you to specify the SOAP <Action> for the SOAP operation.

A SOAP message can be received as a SoapEnvelope or a serializable object passed into the method. Use a SoapEnvelope when you must add or access your own SOAP headers or manipulate the SoapContext for that SOAP message. The SoapContext for a SoapEnvelope is accessed using the Context property. When a serializable object is used, it is serialized into or from the <Body> element. Programmatic access to the SoapContext for the SOAP message is not available when a serializable object is used. Instead, configure the send policy, so that the WSE adds required elements to the SOAP message.
