This class represents the WSDL <message> element, which is used to describe the contents of messages exchanged between a client and the web service. For every method in a web service, a WSDL document contains an input and output message. There are also separate message definitions for every protocol type. For example, for a method called GetInfo, ASP.NET would generate GetInfoHttpPostIn and GetInfoHttpPostOut messages, along with corresponding messages for HTTP GET and SOAP. Messages consist of zero or more MessagePart objects, which specify method parameters and return values.

// Public Instance Methods
