create and send soap message from one pc to another

[weronpc]

Here is what I want to do
1) Create a soap message by using VB.Net
2) send the message to the server machine
3) the server machine reads the soap message and output the data value.

In VB.Net, I read the example for System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter

I got it working on local machine, write soap message to file and read from file by using FileStream. But I can't get it working when transfer over the network by using the NetworkStream. seems like the server machine couldn't retreive the soap message completely or the sender didn't send the complete list of soap message.

Any suggestion or examples? Is this the correct way to transfer soap message from one machine to another? thank you all.

why not use webservice

Though not neccessary , can u tell why not u go for service and put your message in the body (using document literal method)
