The SOAP Logger is a tool that is located in the CRM SDK at: SDK\SampleCode\CS\Client\SOAPLogger

You will see the files:

Open the solution in Visual Studio. Update any references. Open the SOAPLogger.cs file. You will see:

Find the run procedure:

This procedure will run a command and then write to an output.txt file the SOAP request and response. Add some code, for example all accounts that contain “a”:

var query = new QueryExpression("account");
query.Criteria.AddCondition("name", ConditionOperator.Equal, "Microsoft");
slos.RetrieveMultiple(query);

Build and run the solution. You will be prompted to enter your server details. The code will then run:

Now go to your debug folder. You will see an ouput file has been created.

The output file will contain request and response details.
