I've never used soap4r with ASP.NET services, but I believe there might 
be a missing encoding setting for ASPDotNet.

try..

require "soap/rpc/driver"

include SOAP::RPC

class Test
   def initialize()
      driver = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new('http://localhost:8070/PingService/PingService.asmx','http://localhost/PingService/')
      driver.default_encodingstyle = SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace
      driver.allow_unqualified_element=true
      driver.add_method_with_soapaction('SayHello','http://localhost/PingService/SayHello','name')
      puts("Ergebnis: ", driver.SayHello("Roland"))
   end   
end
Test.new
