Paginated is the ability to return a specific number of records at a time, similar to how search engines display results (i.e. Google's 10 search results on a page).

intPageNumber - Positive Integer. Indicates the page number for which the data is to be returned.
intPageSize - Positive Integer. The number of records you want displayed on a page.

SOAP HEADERS:

LoginName - String. The "Login Name" you chose during the registration process.
Password - String. Your account's "Password".

NOTE***: SOAP Headers are required for authentication.
