View xml request in SOAP call

Question

I'm trying to debug some problems we have with a web service, and would like to view the xml used in the SOAP call.

Anyone who know how I can do this in visual studio 2008?

I'm developing on windows mobile 6 using compact framework 3.5...

Answer 1

Place a breakpoint in your code before the XML is returned by the web service. Then, when the breakpoint is hit, you can use VS' built-in XML visualizer to view the data.

Answer 2

Use Fiddler to view the traffic (including the packet contents - i.e. the XML) to and from the service.
