I'm 'consuming' a webservice written by a 3rd party wich uses Borland Soap
Server.
This all works fine, using the WSDL i've generated a Webservice and all
works fine,.... well almost. There are some 'webmethods' wich return a
exception.

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code


Message="There is an error in XML document (2, 1292)."

InnerException: System.InvalidOperationException
Message="The referenced element with ID '1' was not found in the
document."


Using a httpAnalyzer I've retrieved the response-XML (see below). I was just
wondering if it's possible that the problem is an array-indexing problem,
..NET using index '0' for the first entry and borland (seems to be) using
index '1' for their first entry ?


Anyone know about this ? (or know of a solution)

It would seem that not all webservices are created equal, this webservice is
not .NET compatible. Various options will have to be set on the 3rd party
SOAP server to make it compatible with .NET,
