As far as I know Toolkit 3.0 provided the first MS support for attachments in SOAP (both SwA and DIME). Here's one article discussing a beta version of the toolkit, including the SwA vs. DIME issue: http://www.fawcette.com/xmlmag/2002_06/online/webservices_rjennings_06_17_02/ Since VS.NET and the .NET SDK have been out since early this year, I don't consider Toolkit 3.0 part of the basic .NET implementation.
I'm not very involved with .NET, but AFAIK the higher-level tools do not yet include support for attachments. The only way to access this is by going directly to the low-level calls using Toolkit 3.0. Can anyone who's more involved with .NET confirm or correct this?
