Remarks
When the service or client serializes parameters and return values to a message, it writes them within infrastructure-provided XML elements. These XML elements are said to wrap the values. Sometimes developers do not want to wrap these extra XML elements around the serialized values. The WebMessageBodyStyle enumeration specifies whether to wrap parameters and return values.
This enumeration is used with the WebGetAttribute and the WebInvokeAttribute to control how the data passed to and from an operation appears on the wire. Both attributes default to Bare.
