Here's another example--this one in VB:

    Dim manualWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient()

    manualWebClient.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/soap+xml;  charset=utf-8")

    ' Note: don't put the " & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "  " & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "    " & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "      5" & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "      4" & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "    " & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "  " & System.Environment.NewLine & _
        "")
    Dim bytRetData As Byte() = manualWebClient.UploadData("http://localhost/CPTR446.asmx", "POST", bytArguments)

    MessageBox.Show(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytRetData))
