Help with .NET client

Hey all - I need help with a .NET SOAP client consuming my PHP SOAP web service. My SOAP server returns a "StudentObject" based on an ID passed to one of it's methods. The WSDL can be seen at http://csm-demo.symplicity.com/ws/student_api.php?wsdl. I am having no issue with a simple PHP script I wrote to "getStudentBySchoolID", but when my client's .NET application tries to get it, he gets an error from his XML parser (the error message is provided below, under the getwire output). I ran the PHP SOAP client with trace on and I have attached the output of __getwire() (presumably exactly the same as what the .NET client gets and chokes on. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
