SoapClientMessage::Client Property

Gets an instance of the client proxy class, which derives from SoapHttpClientProtocol.

Namespace:  System.Web.Services.Protocols
Assembly:  System.Web.Services (in System.Web.Services.dll)

public:
property SoapHttpClientProtocol^ Client {
	SoapHttpClientProtocol^ get ();
}

Property Value

Type: System.Web.Services.Protocols::SoapHttpClientProtocol
An instance of the client proxy class.

The Client property can be accessed during any SoapMessageStage.

The following code fragment is part of a SOAP extension that logs the SOAP messages sent and received by an XML Web service client. This particular fragment outputs to the log file the type of the proxy class, if it is MathSvc.
