copied!<p>I ended up removing the web service reference from my project and instead wrote a utility class for sending a SOAP request and getting the response back in XML, thanks to <a href="http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20011103.asp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a>. Here are a couple snippets:</p> <pre><code>public XmlDocument SendSoapRequest(XmlDocument soapRequest) { var webRequest = getWebRequest(); Stream requestStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream(); soapRequest.Save(requestStream); requestStream.Close(); WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse(); requestStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream(); var soapResponse = new XmlDocument(); soapResponse.Load(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader( new StreamReader(requestStream).ReadToEnd() ))); return soapResponse; } private HttpWebRequest getWebRequest() { var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Url); webRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; webRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction", SoapAction); webRequest.ContentType = ContentType; webRequest.Accept = AcceptHeader; webRequest.Method = RequestMethod; return webRequest; } </code></pre> <p>I then use an XPath query to navigate the returned <code>XmlDocument</code> and get the data I want, the data that was <em>not</em> showing up in the <code>DataSet[]</code> that I got back from the web service when I used a web reference. I already had a class that implements <code>IXmlSerializable</code> so once I navigate the returned XML with XPath, I just pass an <code>XmlReader</code> to my class's <code>ReadXml</code> method and the class instance gets populated.</p>

Querying!
