Confused about the MessageName attribute

[Chris Leffer]

Hi.

I created a web service with two overloaded methods, and used the
MessageName attribute to differentiate them:
<WebMethod(MessageName:="GetItemString")> _
Public Function GetItem(ByVal localItem As String) As String

End Function

<WebMethod(MessageName:="GetItemInteger")> _
Public Function GetItem(ByVal localItem As Integer) As String

End Function

In my client application I add a web reference to the web service, and
vs.net creates a proxy for me. When I create an instance of the proxy
class, my methods appear as GetItem and GetItem1, and that's my doubt.
Why GetItem1? Shouldn't the methods be named GetItemString and
GetItemInteger?

Regards,
