WCF: Use a Message Contract to make a Soap Header

I need to add a soap header to my web service. I plan to use this to validate my clients (Windows Mobile Devices).

I found this link: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/rog_21/soapheaders05172007120046PM/soapheaders.aspx

Which is exactly what I want to do. But it is not written for WCF.

I have done some research and I seem to be paralyzed by the number of options.

I basically want to add a simple header to my soap object that will be a user name and password. The client does not use WCF, so the soap header needs to just be a normal soap header.

Any Sample code or shoves in the right direction would be appreciated.

You can also use UsernameToken in SOAP header if you have to pass only username paaword and use custom UserNamePasswordValidator as a pluggable service behaviour. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa702565.aspx

Rather than define a DataContract, use MessageContract

[MessageContract]
public class YourMessageType
{
  // This is in the SOAP Header
  [MessageHeader] public string UserName {get;set;}
  [MessageHeader] public string Password {get;set;}

  // This is in the SOAP body
  [MessageBodyMember] public string OtherData {get;set;}
  ...
}
