vb.net webservice soap consumer- print response xml

Hello - Well,
I've written a vb.net web service producer and a test consumer.
vs 2005

from the consumer side I have
myResponse = myService.RetrieveInquiryCreateRequest(myRequest)

I would like to - basically - print the response xml string ...
(actually fill a textbox with the xml string)

I can see the values in intellisense - i just want to grab the response's entire outerxml as a string ..?

I've really looked quite a bit out there and can't find much in reference to doing just this ...

Can you tell me what kind of variable is myResponse?
Is it an XmlElement object?
and if you can post a screen shot of the intellisense values and what values are expecting on the string will be great

ok -
the method:

<WebMethod()> _
    <Description("create a new inquiry investigation instance")> _
    Public Function RetrieveInquiryCreateRequest(ByVal request As InquiryCreateRequest) As InquiryCreateResponse
        Dim auth As New Authorize
        Dim granted As String = auth.check(request.RequestRecordAttributes.qts_service_key, request.RequestRecordAttributes.submitting_app_qtsid)
        If granted = "yes" Then
            Dim manager As New BusinessProcessManager()
            Return manager.RetrieveInquiryCreateRequest(request)
        Else
            Dim response As New InquiryCreateResponse()
            Dim responseattributes As New ResponseRecordAttributes
            responseattributes.systype = "fail"
            responseattributes.sysmessage = "Submitter Unauthorized"
            responseattributes.responseAction = request.ToString
            response.ResponseRecordAttributes = responseattributes
            Return response
        End If
    End Function

YOur response is a InquiryCreateResponse type.
Can I have excerpt from InquiryCreateResponse class?
And also what part of this class you want to recover as string.

didn't notice you had replied before mine ...
in essence there are 4 requests and 4 responses
i want to string out all the responses ...

each response has an attribures object and a record object (except ~list which has an item instead of record)

thanx LearnedOne!

I do very much appreciate it!

it makes it so much easier to trace and debug with the consumer team when you can see what the result actually is ...
