Answer 1

You can extend ASP.NET web services with a SoapExtension - this gives you low-level access to the SOAP message stream. You could use this to inspect and then transform input messages as required. Here's an old MSDN article about SOAP extensions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188761.aspx

If the client can call your WebMethod successfully but you just want to inspect the original message you could try reading Request.InputStream; that would be a lot simpler than implementing a SoapExtension.
