    Public Function GetUserName() As UserName
        Return CType(Me.Invoke("GetUserName", Me.Url + "/GetUserName", New Object(0) {}), UserName)
    End Function 'GetUserName
    
    Public Function BeginGetUserName(callback As System.AsyncCallback, asyncState As Object) As System.IAsyncResult
        Return Me.BeginInvoke("GetUserName", Me.Url + "/GetUserName", New Object(0) {}, callback, asyncState)
    End Function 'BeginGetUserName
    
    Public Function EndGetUserName(asyncResult As System.IAsyncResult) As UserName
        Return CType(Me.EndInvoke(asyncResult), UserName)
    End Function 'EndGetUserName
End Class

<XmlRootAttribute(Namespace := "http://tempuri.org/", IsNullable := True)> _
Public Class UserName
    Public Name As String
    Public Domain As String

End Class

Remarks

If the XML Web service client is invoking an XML Web service method using HTTP-GET, ReturnFormatter must be UrlParameterWriter, whereas a client using HTTP-POST must set ReturnFormatter to HtmlFormParameterWriter.
