Remarks

A Message can contain either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information. Procedure-oriented messages contain parameters and return values, while document-oriented messages contain documents.

The Message class corresponds to a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) message element enclosed by the definitions root element. For more information about WSDL, see the WSDL specification.

FindPartByName(String)	Searches the MessagePartCollection returned by the Parts property, and returns the named MessagePart.
FindPartsByName(String[])	Searches the MessagePartCollection returned by the Parts property and returns an array of type MessagePart that contains the named instances.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
