This class allows you to create custom SOAP headers, which are used
to send additional information to or from a web service. For example,
rather than require an extra security parameter to authenticate every
web service method, you could use a custom
SoapHeader. The client could then set a simple
property of the proxy class, and the header would be sent
automatically with every web method request.

To use a custom SoapHeader, create a class that
inherits from SoapHeader, and add the member
variables you need to contain additional information (in this case,
some sort of security credentials). When invoking a method,
instantiate your custom SoapHeader, set its
properties accordingly, and send it to the web service or proxy
class. The web service must provide a member variable to receive the
SoapHeader and must indicate which methods will
process the custom header. It marks these methods with a
SoapHeaderAttribute.

The Actor property is specified by the SOAP
standard and should be set to the URL of the web service. If you set
the MustUnderstand property to
True, the method in the class receiving the
message must set the DidUnderstand property to
True, or a SoapHeaderException
will be thrown. Note that ASP.NET automatically defaults
MustUnderstand to True and
automatically defaults DidUnderstand to
True as long as the recipient (for example, the
web service) contains the custom header class definition. The only
time DidUnderstand will not be automatically set
to True is when you explicitly retrieve unknown
SOAP headers.
