This class is a generic exception for SOAP-related problems. The Common Language Runtime can throw a SoapException when it encounters an incorrectly formatted SOAP message. Also, any error that occurs inside a web service method is caught on the server and returned to the client as a SoapException. ASP.NET will then set the SoapException property (which identifies the web service URL) and the Code property (using one of the fault code fields) automatically.
When you are creating your own web methods, you may need to provide more information about exceptions. To do so, catch any server errors and create and throw a corresponding SoapException object. You can specify application-specific details about the error by adding custom XML content to the Detail property.
