Answer 1

You should be able to exclude the offending property by adding the

[NonSerialized()] // This is C# syntax.  Not sure of VB.Net :-)

attribute to it.

The web service you are calling should ignore anything it doesn't understand, but if that's not happening, you can prevent a given property of your class from being serialized, and therefore from becoming part of the SOAP message, using that attribute.
