There is a requirement to consume asmx webservice in biztalk orch.The asmx webservice ,webmethod is having complex type as a argument
For Ex:CalculateFDR(Invoice as invoice) Here Invoice is a class.now consumed an asmx webservice using WCF consume wizard in BizTalk.
In orchestration , when I create the Requestmessage and bind to messagetype with MyFin.CalculateFDRSoapIn.
Now In expression shape when I want pass invoice values as argument  to Request message i am getting like below
Msg_ServiceRequest.Parameters. instaed
Msg_ServiceRequest.Invoice.InvoiceNo etc.
Even When I check the multi-partmessage type i found that CalculateFDRSoapIn-Parameters and description of multi-part message type is <wsdl:message name="WriteDBEntrySoapIn"/> messagepart description is  <wsdl:part name="parameters"/> 
Could you please let me know how to pass Invoice values as a argument for this webservice in Orchestration

When you consume WCF/Web service using WCF/Web service wizard, it creates multi-part message type representing the contract’s of the parameters exchanged. This multi-part message will have
message part names as “parameters”. This parameter can be of primitive .NET Types type like System.String, System.Int32 etc or it could be of a schema type.
If multipart message’s message part type of Primitive .NET Types, then you can construct the message as you say something like..
Msg_ServiceRequest.InvoiceNo
Here if InvoiceNo could be of any primitive .NET Types.
If it’s of any schema type then you got to construct the schema first either using map (Transform) or in message-assignment. In your case it seems to be the multipart message’s message part
type is that of a schema. So you have to construct the schema using either map (Transform) or in message-assignment.
