Apache SOAP Client to MS .NET

[Blair Tingey <bt...@xmission.com>]

I have been trying to use Apache SOAP classes as a client to a MS .NET
service without much luck.

There are some .NET services listed on the XMethods site (
http://www.xmethods.com), they are: Prasad's Stock Quote Service, Breaking
News Service, and ZipCodes. I have included the code that I have tried to
use for these services.

Because I am new to SOAP, I know I'm missing something trivial but I
just can't see it. Can anyone see where I am going wrong?

Thanks,
