dotnet web services : .NET WebService Method Fails to read an input parameter of string type via SOAP 1.1

Hi all,

This is my first post here so hello everybody.
I have just created a webservice that accepts a string that will be
parsed as a XML document, that is not important in this case.
The question is that if I consume the WebService with a .net proxy the
parameter is read perfectly, but when I try to build the soap message
and try to send that message to my webservice, the input parameter
that my webservice accepts is read as null. I don't understand what is
happening here,l followed the webmethod signature but it does not
work.

Please I need your help, bellow you can see the SOAP client code that
performs the call to the webservice.

' define webservices adress
dim webservice
webservice = "http://myhost/FQWebService/ProcessOrderXML.asmx"

' create xmlhttp object
set xmlhttp = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

' create a XML DOM object
set xmldom = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

soapMessage = soapMessage & "<soap:Body>"

I don't know why you need to construct your SOAP message by appending
strings, but it's very error-prone. If you have to "manually" construct a
SOAP message, then you should use the DOM.

At any rate, XML is case-sensitive, and "PlaceOrder" is different from
"placeOrder".

That was my mistake, the capital letter.
