    <p>I'm trying to test a WCF service without creating a WCF client. I have similar code/issues as presented <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/1643025/1397017">here</a>.</p> <p>I want full control on the SOAP payload so I want to be able to issue my own web requests/responses and substitute my own XML as the parameters into any method. I also want the return SOAP XML exactly as is, without creating response objects, fault exception objects, etc.</p> <p>As a point of reference, I want to do exactly what <a href="http://www.soapui.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SoapUI</a> is doing at the point you click the execute button and get the response back. I'm only assuming that SoapUI is NOT creating a WCF client, building the request and calling the method, but rather issuing a full SOAP call to the WCF service and displaying the result. </p> <p>In answer to the questions in the comments, the reason I don't want to create a WCF client is that I want to be insulated from any and all changes to the service, not have to rebuild references, modify my own code, create separate code for every new service/method, etc. because this process is kicked off automatically after every build, with no interaction. </p> <p>So, I have hundreds of thousands of test XML parameters that I pass into hundreds of methods, without caring about what they are. We have done it for years on ASMX web services and the one method (very similar to the above link) handled all web services/methods/test parameters. </p> <p>With switching to WCF I get internal server errors especially when testing invalid XML nodes: missing required nodes, errors in a create method for duplicate names, etc. (any error condition). I think it makes sense that there is an easy way to do this with WCF in the same manner. </p> <p>I want EXACTLY what SoapUI is sending back, I just need to know how it's doing it.</p>

    1. COI'm not sure what you mean. The call is made by sending the SOAP XML with a POST web request, just like you have said. WCF will take care of the serialization and web request / response level of things.

    2. CO@s mac: I suggest you explain what you are trying to do instead of how wou are currently trying. Remove all your comments and instead build a simple, concise question. You mention you are a tester. Do you want to test a WCF web service and want full control on the SOAP payload. Is that it? Why do you want to do it at a low level instead of using a WCF client or SoapUI?

    3. COok, John...I attempted again. Since I'm not well versed in WCF or SOAP, that's the only way I know how to explain it. I'm sure there is an obvious way to do it (to you and others), I just don't know what it is and I've looked for days. If you have more questions, please let me know. Thanks.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
