Web Service Request

Question

I am building a web site that consumes an external web service. I have added the WSDL of the external service as reference to my site. How do i view the contents of the SOAP envelope that is sent as request when i call the web method in the external service.

I get an "XML Parse Exception" when i make the web service call. So i want to see the contents of the SOAP envelope that is being sent as request.
