WCF web service - how can I view XML request and response inside my app?

I am writing a C# WinForms application that consumes a web service using WCF. I would like to be able to display the XML request and response in the application in real-time as the calls are happening. Is this possible?

You would probably want to use / write a custom MessageInspector:

Another handy way to look at the raw communication is to enable tracing (but this would log the messages outside your application which might not suit your needs):
