Sample SOAP requests for several adCenter API V5.1 calls

Hello,

Here are a few sample SOAP requests for some of the V5.1 CampaignManagement, Reporting, and Administration Web service operations.

Please provide feedback within this blog on the value and format of these samples. We'll use that information to determine how best to include SOAP samples in our MSDN documentation for Microsoft adCenter API.

Thank you, and also thanks to my Microsoft colleague Strohm for providing the initial Reporting SOAP sample.

Example CustomerManagement.GetAccounts request

Note
The CustomerManagement, Administration, and NotificationManagement Web services rely on ASP.Net Web Services (ASMX) technology, while the CampaignManagement and Reporting Web services rely on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) technology. In addition to the technology differences, adCenter API uses different elements for the ASMX and WCF headers. Hence, you'll see differences in the SOAP request between the ASMX and the WCF Web services.
