title: How do I get access to SOAP response
body: <p>(If anything here needs clarification/ more detail please let me know.)</p>
  
  <p>I have an application (C#, 2.* framework) that interfaces with a third-party webservice using SOAP.  I used thinktecture's WSCF add-in against a supplied WSDL to create the client-side implementation. For reasons beyond my control the SOAP message exchange uses WSE2.0 for security (the thinctecture implementation had to be modified to include the WSE2.0 reference).  In addition to the 'normal' data package I attach a stored X509 cert and a binary security token from a previous call to a different web service. We are using SSL encryption of some sort - I don't know the details.  </p>
  
  <p>All the necessary serialization/deserialization is contained in the web service client - meaning when control is returned to me after calling the client the entire XML string contained in the SOAP response is not available to me - just the deserialized components.  Don't get me wrong - I think that's good because it means I don't have to do it myself.</p>
  
  <p>However, in order for me to have something worth storing/archiving I am having to re-serialize the data at the root element. This seems like a waste of resources since my result was in the SOAP response.  </p>
  
  <p><strong>Now for my question:
     How can I get access to a 'clear' version of the SOAP response so that I don't have to re-serialize everything for storage/archiving?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Edit-  My application is a 'formless' windows app running as a network service - triggered by a WebsphereMQ client trigger monitor.  I don't <em>think</em> ASP.NET solutions will apply.</p>
  
  <p>Edit - Since the consensus so far is that it doesn't matter whether my app is ASP.NET or not then I will give CodeMelt's (and by extension Chris's) solution a shot.</p>
