Parameter being an attribute, not an element

[grantmarcus]

Hello All,

How do you make a C# Web Service use an attribute of an XML request as
a parameter instead of an element?

I need to write an interface for a third party where the XML request
will be in the form of:

<MyRequest MyParameter="Value />

When I make a WebMethod in my Web Service, using Visual Studio .Net
2003, like:

[WebMethod]
public int MyRequest( int MyParameter )
{
return 0;
}

The Web Service will only accept an XML request in the form of:

<MyRequest>
<MyParameter>Value</MyParameter>
</MyRequest>

I cannot make the third party change their XML request. I've been
scouring the Internet and the MSDN for a while, and only came across a
ParameterStyle modifier, which still make the parameters be elements.

Please help!

Thank you in advance,
Marcus Grant

Sorry about the double post. I was under the impression that the first
