Sniff packets in Visual studio

I am writing application that is using UdpClient to send and receive data, but i am getting many data sent wrong. I need to figure out how my data is transfered between client and server. So i need some sniffer plugin for Visual Studio cause i don't want to use some heavy tools like WireShark. So is it possible to track received and transmitted data in my application?

You can use the "Network Tracing" feature built into .NET itself.

<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.Net" tracemode="includehex" maxdatasize="1024">
        <listeners>
          <add name="System.Net"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>
      <source name="System.Net.Sockets">
        <listeners>
          <add name="System.Net"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>
    <switches>
      <add name="System.Net" value="Verbose"/>
      <add name="System.Net.Sockets" value="Verbose"/>
    </switches>
    <sharedListeners>
      <add name="System.Net"
        type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
        initializeData="network.log"
      />
    </sharedListeners>
    <trace autoflush="true"/>
  </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
