Data Collector - How to see the Request in WCF Method

[CommunityUser]

I have set up a Data Collector for a slow WCF Method, I am able to see the response from the service call, but I am also interested in seeing the original request data.

Hi Duncan,

  In case your Service Operation Method takes a .Net Objcet as a parameter you can try setting a MIDC this method and use getter chains to extract the property values you need.

If you are looking for something lower in the stack you can try seeting a MIDC on System.ServiceModel.OperationContext class

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.operationcontext(v=vs.110).aspx

You can create MIDC with something like following

```

Class : System.ServiceModel.OperationContext

Method : get_Current  (this is just the internal getter method for the Current property of OperationContext class)

```

Now get_Current will return the current OperationContrext so you can apply a getter chain on this object to extract what you need.

Thanks,
