I'm glad to hear you are over this hump and ready for the next one ;-) There is quite a lot to get your arms around with SOAP. However, there are a few things you can keep in mind. One is that the data that each SOAP message obeys rules defined in just a few specifications, namely SOAP, WSDL, XML and XML Schema. These specs are independent of platforms, programming languages, etc. Another thing to remember is that much of each SOAP implementation (e.g. .NET, Apache SOAP) is code to map SOAP messages to some platform or programming language model, such as mapping XML Schema or WSDL types to and from classes, and mapping SOAP messages to method calls.

Well, that wasn't the right way of doing. I used according to the specifications in the link you provided and YES its working. I am as good as a new comer to SOAP and XML world and honestly, I didn't knew that the format had to be according to the one at w3.org. This is something I have learnt from this conversation with you and will be in my head always I work on SOAP and XML. And when I looked at dateTime, I assumed it the same as DateTime in C# (the only difference being lower case d). > THANKS A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! for your help. > Scott Nichol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:What makes you think the pattern is exactly what C# is expecting?
