How to add a additional parameter to Soap header

Question

I have an application that connects to a service. I want to add an additional parameter to the Soap Header, where should i exactly add this to?

    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
    {
        //apptoken name to be sent instead of caller app name - 10.1
        this.RequestSoapContext.Addressing.From = new Uri(ServiceConfiguration.APPTOKEN, UriKind.Relative);

        WebRequest req = base.GetWebRequest(uri);

        req.Headers.Add(ServiceConfiguration.HEADER_COOKIE_NAME_C, ServiceConfiguration.HEADER_COOKIE_VALUE);
        req.Method = ServiceConfiguration.REQUEST_METHOD;
        req.ContentType = ServiceConfiguration.REQUEST_CONTENT_TYPE;

        string smsession = GetSMSessionCookie();
        if (smsession != "")
        {
            req.Headers.Add(ServiceConfiguration.HEADER_COOKIE_NAME_C, smsession);
        }

        m_webRequest = req;
        return req;


    }

i have this in one of the web service class. But i feel this seems to be a Http Header.

I also have this in another class i have the constants specified.

    public const string REQUEST_METHOD = "POST";
    public const string REQUEST_CONTENT_TYPE = "text/xml";

    public const string HEADER_SOAP_ACTION_NAME = "SOAPAction";
    public const string HEADER_SOAP_ACTION_VALUE = "/";

    public const string HEADER_COOKIE_VALUE = "SMCHALLENGE=YES";

    public const string HEADER_APPLICATION_NAME = "APPLICATION_NAME";
    public const string HEADER_APPLICATION_VALUE = "XLS";

    public const string COOKIE_SMSESSION = "SMSESSION=";
    public const string HEADER_COOKIE_NAME_C = "Cookie";
    public const string HEADER_COOKIE_NAME_SETC = "Set-Cookie";
    public const string HEADER_COOKIE_SEPARATOR = ";";

Can someone help me how to add an additional parameter of my own in the SOAP REQUEST Header?

I am using winforms .net 4.0 c#.

@juanreyesv: nope, he's using legacy ASMX web service technology. — John Saunders, Feb 15 '13 at 03:51
Does the service define this header? You can't just add arbitrary headers in an ASMX web service client. — John Saunders, Feb 15 '13 at 03:52
@JohnSaunders- I am poor in the Web services, what i know is there is a auto generated code in the service classes in my solution. So now there is an additional parameter is added at the service part to the "Header", so i need to send this parameter from the Header through my application. How this can be done? — roopini n, Feb 15 '13 at 06:36

I'm not sure If I get your question right but you can add custom header by typing req.Headers.Add("customheadername","value");

@juanreyesv-Is there some method called SoapHeaderAttribute( ) that allows you to add the headers? – roopini n Feb 15 '13 at 03:09
No, this would add to the HTTP headers, not the SOAP headers. – John Saunders Feb 15 '13 at 03:51
@JohnSaunders - have you seen this – roopini n Feb 15 '13 at 04:00
