Why not 'text' property?

 <FileContents xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="bin.base64">base64 string </FileContents>
<element2/>

doc.selectsinglenode("//element2").text=doc.selectsinglenode("//FileContents").text

Remove the unused element. Now your callee web-service may convert the 
base64 string into binary array. i.e., Convert.FromBase64String, etc.
