Hi,
Again sorry for my ignorance first time interfacing to a remote server that
is not a web service but it uses SOAP protocol to talk through a particular
TCP port. I need to develop a VB.NET application to send a SOAP Message to
this remote server. The only info they have given me is the server and port
number and they have a "ping style" msg that the server will accept a msg
and return back exactly what I send the msg has two parameters Message Id (a
number Integer) and a robot Id which is the workstation sending the msg they
say I can send any other parameter and they will send it back to me.

Any ideas how I can approach a solutions for this.

Thanks

Julio

I would look into the SoapFormatter class. That should be able to give
you a properly formatted SOAP message and from there you could use the
network libraries (System.Net.Sockets) to send the message.
