SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 2.0 for Microsoft .NET (WSE 2.0) client application. The WSE 2.0 client application implements Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME). In this scenario, you may receive the following error message when the WSE 2.0 client application interacts with a third-party Web service:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the third-party Web service sets the value of the Charset parameter in the ContentType header.

The value of the Charset parameter is optional. If you set the value of the Charset parameter, the SOAP message is truncated.
