C# – How Do I Intercept Outbound and Inbound Soap Messages from C# Client Side Web Proxy

Unfortunately, you'll need to modify the proxy code. The other possibilities you mention will not work - a parial class will not overwrite existing functionality, and there is no way that I'm aware of getting an interface to do what you need (compounded by the fact that there is no way to even let the proxy generator know that you intend to implement an interface).

Something that I've done in the past, in a situation where you have access to the source of the webservice, is to write a little app that will parse the code (as text) in the .asmx.cs file of the webservice to extract the names of all the methods that are tagged with [WebMethod]. Then the app "fixes up" the References.cs by inserting appropriate attributes onto the proxied methods, based on some settings file or somesuch. This works well because the naming conventions in the proxy map very neatly to the method names in the original service.

The following snippets will fix the case where there is something wrong with the SSL certificate on the server you are calling. For example, it may be self-signed or the host name between the certificate and the server may not match.

This is dangerous if you are calling a server outside of your direct control, since you can no longer be as sure that you are talking to the server you think you're connected to. However, if you are dealing with internal servers and getting a "correct" certificate is not practical, use the following to tell the web service to ignore the certificate problems and bravely soldier on.

The first two use lambda expressions, the third uses regular code. The first accepts any certificate. The last two at least check that the host name in the certificate is the one you expect.

//Trust all certificates
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =
    ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

// trust sender
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback
                = ((sender, cert, chain, errors) => cert.Subject.Contains("YourServerName"));

// validate cert by calling a function
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateRemoteCertificate);

// callback used to validate the certificate in an SSL conversation
private static bool ValidateRemoteCertificate(object sender, X509Certificate cert, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors policyErrors)
{
    bool result = cert.Subject.Contains("YourServerName");
    return result;
}
