Hi gurus.

I need your help on the following.

I need to send a xml request to a server(I guess on what I have read,
its a web service) and I need to get the request back on the same
format.

I need the first step in order to get this done. I would like to
create a VB.net application that will send the request (xml format)
and get and process the xml the back request into our sql
environment.

Thanks a bunch gurus.
 
You may be making it harder than is necessary.

In your VB project, you should just add a new webservice refrence by right
clicking the project and selecting "Add Service Reference". You should know
the name of the service. It will be something like
http://terraserver-usa.com/LandmarkService.asmx, which is one I use a lot.
The webservice will be added with a namespace which defaults to
ServiceReference1. Now you can use classes as if the library was on your
machine. When you call methods in the service, the xml serialization
happens behind the seens. There is practically no need to ever see the XML.
