Description
Use the WebServiceInfo.PrepareRequest method to generate the contents of a SOAP request to be sent to a web service method. The PrepareRequest method returns an object that implements the IXMLDOMDocument interface (SOAP uses XML and the request contents match the DOM object model). You can use methods and properties of this interface to work with the SOAP request contents.
