A web reference does (ultimately) use SOAP. What it's doing is generating
NET classes based on the services definition (WSDL) so that you can more
program against the web service using .NET types instead of having to shift
your brain into the more complex world of XML specifications surrounding
web services.

I could tell you to just build the SOAP request by hand with XmlDocument
and then send it use HttpWebRequest, but I'm just not sure you actually need
to go to that extreme. If you could provide us with some more detail as to
why you can't use a web reference I think we'd be able to offer you alternate
solutions.
