Hi i need a help with proper soap request. I tried few ways do it but no luck.

Answer 1

Your headers seem odd mixing up escaped quotes you actually don't need.
Try replacing
$soapWebRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction","`"MethodName`"")
by
$soapWebRequest.Headers.Add("SOAPAction","MethodName")
as well as
$soapWebRequest.ContentType = "application/soap+xml;charset=`"utf-8`";action=`"host/MethodName`""
by
$soapWebRequest.ContentType = "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8";
