How do I get the XML soap request of an WCF Web service request?

I think you meant that you want to see the XML at the client, not trace it at the server. In that case, your answer is in the question I linked above, and also at How to Inspect or Modify Messages on the Client But, since the . NET 4 version of that article is missing its C#, and the .

NET 3.5 example has some confusion (if not a bug) in it, here it is expanded for your purpose.

NET 4 version of that article is missing its C#, and the . NET 3.5 example has some confusion (if not a bug) in it, here it is expanded for your purpose. You can intercept the message before it goes out using an IClientMessageInspector: using System.ServiceModel.

Dispatcher; public class MyMessageInspector : IClientMessageInspector { } The methods in that interface, BeforeSendRequest and AfterReceiveReply, give you access to the request and reply. To use the inspector, you need to add it to an IEndpointBehavior: using System.ServiceModel. Description; public class InspectorBehavior : IEndpointBehavior { public void ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime) { clientRuntime.

MessageInspectors. Add(new MyMessageInspector()); } } You can leave the other methods of that interface as empty implementations, unless you want to use their functionality, too. Read the how-to for more details.

After you instantiate the client, add the behavior to the endpoint. Using default names from the sample WCF project: ServiceReference1. Service1Client client = new ServiceReference1.

Service1Client(); client.Endpoint.Behaviors. Add(new InspectorBehavior()); client. GetData(123); Set a breakpoint in MyMessageInspector.

BeforeSendRequest(); request.ToString() is overloaded to show the XML. If you are going to manipulate the messages at all, you have to work on a copy of the message. See Using the Message Class for details.

Thanks to Zach Bonham's answer at another question for finding these links.

1 Very clear and comprehensive - thank you – Chris B Jul 14 at 15:04.

Option 1 Use message tracing/logging. Have a look here and here. Option 2 You can always use Fiddler to see the HTTP requests and response.

Option 3 Use System. Net tracing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
