ASP.NET Consuming Webservices and reading the Soap Message

Question

I am having difficulties Understanding and consuming Webservices in asp.net . i've created some Webmethods to be exposed , and tested them using the (Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/") and then i created a simple client application , that calls one of the functions through passing it as the "action" parameter in the form tag , something like :

<form id="form1"  action='http://localhost:3880/SoapService/Service.asmx/HelloWorld'
method="post">

What i can't figured out:

• if possible a better Explination of Webservices and how they use and consume SOAP Messages
• How to pass Parameters with the function call, when i put the function url in the action parameter , like above.
• How to consume the soap message itself. (is that possible?)
