Web Services Description Language (WSDL) defines two styles for how an XML Web service method, which it calls an operation, can be formatted in a SOAP message: RPC and Document. Document refers to formatting the XML Web service method according to an XSD schema. The Document style refers to formatting the Body element as a series of one or more message parts following the Body element. Exactly how the individual message parts is determined by the Use and ParameterStyle properties. The Use property determines whether parameters are formatted Encoded or Literal. The ParameterStyle determines whether the parameters are encapsulated within a single message part following the Body element or whether each parameter is an individual message part.

For more details, see Customizing SOAP Message Formatting

This attribute can be applied to both an XML Web service method on the server and a method of the proxy class on the client.

The following code example sets the message style to Document for the GetUserName XML Web service method. Additionally, the XML element with the Body element for the SOAP request and SOAP response are set to GetUserNameRequest and GetUserNameResponse, respectively.
