I am very confused so please understand that this question may not be well
formed.

I need to work with a WS that requires a wrapper, nesting of the XML,
perhaps this is not a good phrase, but I'm not sure where to begin.

---------------------------------------------------
** Any articles or links, books are appreciated **
---------------------------------------------------

My only WS experience is using a WS similar to a DLL or .vb file in my web
project.

Now I have to connect to someone else's WS and I've been given alot of XML
structures.

I had assumed that when .Net connected to a WDSL any calls to the named WS
were sent as XML and that I didn't need to form XML, other than to make my
call with the proper sequence, type and value for any variables for the
webmethod.

In the past I think that my XML have been implemented similar to.....

The following pseudo code snipit I get, although I may not state it 100%
correctly here...
... from w/in my webapp
----------------------------------------------
.... assuming a Ref to the WS has been made...
Prvt Sub NewReq(CaseNo as String, Date as String, Other Values... as )

.... validation and getting of any other req. values to pass in...

If NewRequest.Send(CaseNo as String, Date as String, Other Values... as ) =
"Submitted" Then
... do something...
End If

End Sub

... which sends XML similar to....
----------------------------------------------
<NewRequest Send>
   <CaseNo/>
   <Date/>
   <Other Values..../>
</NewRequest Send>
------------------------------------------------

****** Here's the new stuff that is confusuing for me....

Now I have to pass similar that is like a wrapper with an outside auth
handled at my client and a request obejct that passes in the NewRequest.
------------------------------------------------
<OutSide XML>
   <Auth>
   <MyValidated UserID/>
   <Auth/>
   <Request>
        <Request Date>
        <Request Type>
   </Request>
   <Inside XML New Request>
       <CaseNo/>
       <Date/>
       <Other Values..../>
   </Inside XML New Request>
<OutSide XML>

And it gets better, I also have to receive back a <Response and process
that..... which I might think is handled w/in my "NewReq" noted above.

Any direction would be appreciated.....
