Can I see the XMLWS request/reponse xml?

[Naeem Sarfraz]

Is there a way to view the xml sent to a .net web service from a .net client?

Can I intercept the xml in any way?

I want to be able to view the xml that I send, is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, simplest way is to use one the tcp sniffer tools(a proxy),
SOAPScope is a nice tools for this.

Of course you can write code for this , but it's too much effort.e.g.
overriding GetWebResponse method on the client's proxy, or implementing
SoapExtension on the server side

Thanks for replies guys.

I briefly tried SOAPScope, but I don't think it's going to work for me as
you have to execute the webservice call from the SOAPScope application. In my
situation the webservice requires a complex data type and is called from a c#
program.

I'm going to have a look at the stuff Dilip suggested and will report back.

Thanks!
