Read Soap Message using C#

Answer 1

First you want to create a class to deseralize the xml values into

    public class bookHotelResponse {
      public int bookingReference { get; set; }
      public int bookingStatus { get; set; }
   } 

Then you can utilize GetElementsByTagName to extract the body of the soap request and deseralize the request string into an object.

    private static T DeserializeInnerSoapObject(string soapResponse)
    {
        XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
        xmlDocument.LoadXml(soapResponse);

        var soapBody = xmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName("soap:Body")[0];
        string innerObject = soapBody.InnerXml;

        XmlSerializer deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

        using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(innerObject))
        {
            return (T)deserializer.Deserialize(reader);
        }
    }
