      Console.WriteLine("Called with: {0}", msg)
         Return "The service greets you: " & msg
    End Function

    End Sub
  End Class
End Namespace

Remarks

Use the Name property to override the <operation> element name in WSDL. The default operation name is the name of the implementing method.
