My WebService (simplified)

public class ContactService : WebService
 {
    public AuthenticationHeader AuthenticationInformation;

    public class AuthenticationHeader : SoapHeader
    {
        public string Token;
    }
}

My Client (simplified)

var temp = new ContactServiceSoapClient();
temp.AuthenticationInformation//<-- is not there

I can examine the reference.cs file and see that my client does have the AuthenticationHeader class, it is just not available as a property of my soap client.

Why does my soap client not have an AuthenticationHeader property?

I am using VS 2013 add/update service reference on my client.

That's now how SOAP Headers work in a WCF client. Look at the operations of the service. They will have the headers. – John Saunders Jan 20 '15 at 17:58
sorry, how do I find these operations? – Julien Jan 20 '15 at 18:00

One convenient way is to use the Object Browser to look at the client type (`ContactServiceSoapClient`) – John Saunders Jan 20 '15 at 18:06
