The Wiki includes that information. Just marshall the object and then 
serialize the DOM however you want to, or use the XMLHelper methods.

There's also some built-in support for SOAP in the libraries themselves 
anyway. If you're using some other SOAP stack and you have to go all the 
way to XML and back to use it with this code, you're kind of killing 
performance.
