SOAP request/response messages in WCF

Gktony

How can I view the SOAP request/response messages for a .svc service written in c#? Is it possible?

If you can get one, then SOAP UI is a nice tool which can help doing that. You can test your service as well it. You can send a request and get the response from it.

I don't SOAP UI is compatible with WCF. In my experience it does not send a strong enough SOAP message, although I could be wrong

It is. I have used it.

What do you mean by that?

The WCF service could not understand any messages sent by SOAP-UI. I guessed that there is some redundant attribute or property which WCF requires in a SOAP message but SOAP-UI does not include. I didn't go any further with it.
