Hi,

SOAP only allows one element child under the Body element.  This means you
cannot box-car items into the SOAP body.  Doing so can result in
unexpected/unsupported behaviors.  If you want to have multiple children
under body, define another element to contain them, and then put this
element under body as the only child.

That's true, and it's done by design. The SetBodyObject/GetBodyObject pair
will work only for one (first) XmlElement Child in the soap.Body.
In your case, you can still use the SetBodyObject method adding a first
child and then simply add  XmlElement(s) to the soap.Body using for
instance
method:
AppendChild(envelope.Body.ImportNode((XmlNode) yourObject, true));
