// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First build a sample (but incomplete) GovTalkMessage.
// You can replace this code with a call to LoadXml or LoadXmlFile..
// 
// Note: The online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/xmlCreate.cshtml
// can be used to generate XML code that creates a given XML document.

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
