Good luck. I ended up writing a whole perl module to access the free API using raw xml requests because there was no perl SOAP modules that supported document/literal encoding at the time.

I'd expect this will be more difficult for you in VB in one aspect - grabbing the data out of the more complicated xml replies. Perl has poweful regular expression capabilities to grep out the data, you'll need a similar vb library to do that also I'd imagine.
