SoapExtensions are used only for ASP.NET

Question

Hello, I'm trying to implement a SoapExtension for log purposes (print the xml soap request) on an .NET 2.0 client application (not ASP.NET). I first tried a simple console application just to check and I'm not able to see that the extension is called. The simple code is just two lines:

System.Net.WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.ynet.com"); WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

and my config file is the following:

What I'm doing wrong? are the extension usable only in ASP.NET? Thanks

You must have class e.g.:"YourExtension" derived from "SoapExtension" class and attribute class e.g. "YourExtensionAttribute" derived from "SoapExtensionAttribute" there you overide "Type" property:

public override Type ExtensionType
{
 get { return typeof(YourExtension); }
}

and put SoapExtensionAttribute to your webservice method
