Consume WCF Service and pass data into dataset

I am really struggling with this. I have created a WCF Service with BizTalk and I have followed instructions to create the Proxy class in VS 2010. If everything is at the top level of the XML schema its fine but what I am struggling with is that I have XML Schema that has record elements at the top level.

Policy
- ClientRecord - name, address, post code etc....

Policy
- ProductRecord - ProdID, Desc, price etc...

The method exposed is Operation1 which effectively needs an XML object passed into it as a BizTalk Receive.

All the examples show creating an instance of the service and then you can strongly type it. I can't work out how to create a new instance and then be able to strongly type into a dataset.

What I want to do is something like policy.clientrecord.name = textbox1.text. At present all I get is the policy.clientrecord.namecolumn exposed which is readonly.

I am really confused and can't find examples out there that match although it must be done all the time. I could lump everything into the root of the XML file but this makes it messy, unless you can create the schema another way to avoid this?

I now realise the error of my ways, I was calling it completely wrongly largely due to being a newbie. I have been hunting and hunting for help and in the end it come from some very ground up basics (other examples had me going off in all directions).

To get it working with my Biztalk WCF service which was a published orchestration I just added the proxy classes generated by SVCUTIL and renamed the file to app.config.
