I am having a Webservice within which i am throwing SOAP Exceptions and
therefore whenever something wrong happens a SOAP fault comes up in the
response - see below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client<
/faultcode><faultstring>Fault
occurred</faultstring><faultactor>http://203.111.104.215/webservices/selcomm/selcomm.asmx</faultactor><detail><fau
ltcode
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">-102</faultcode><faultstring
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">Database not
found</faultstring></detail></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

Now my Problem is that my WSDL does not define any SOAP Fault elements as it
is the one that is auto generated via the .NET Framework when we do ?WSDL.
How can i add the fault elements within my WSDL? where will the fault
elements come and how will they look like?

.NET will not generate fault elements in your WSDL. You will either have to
create your own WSDL file or do without fault elements.

Your other choice would be to switch to WCF, which does allow you to define
faults and will add them to the WSDL.
