Text Value
Remarks
Encoding is the process of transforming a message into a sequence of bytes. Decoding is the reverse process. The text encoder creates text-based messages on the wire. Messages produced by this encoder are suitable for WS-* based interop. A Web service or Web service client can generally understand textual XML.
Example
The code example shows how to specify the message version and type of text encoding using this configuration element.

messageVersion="Soap12Addressing10"
