Today I downloaded your code and but had few trouble on your code; I am using VS2008 SP1; In SP1 you need to pass the Service URL as command line parameter.

So commented if (args.Length == 0) condition and I changed this code “_form = ci.Invoke(new object[0] {new[] {args[0]}}) as Form;” to “_form = ci.Invoke(new object[] {args}) as Form;”

And worked very nicely.. Once again thank you very much for your investigation & solution… It’s really saving lot of my time now

This testing tool WCFStorm (www.wcfstorm.com) does exactly what you’ve described. It can create create functional test cases (compare actual vs expected responses) plus it can also do Load tests. The UI is quite neat as well.

(Side note: The author also wrote a similar and open-source tool for web services: http://www.codeplex.com/storm)

I had a great read

I am curious to know if this is possible: After executing a wcf operation, I want the outputs to be written into a file, so that I can compare them with the expected values. This will be really help full.

That was no criticism and I perfectly understand this is a hack. I just noted that point in case you maintained the code.

In fact I wasn’t that much interested in the purpose of your hack. I just love reading code. And I had really pleasure reading yours.

The whole thing was not meant as anything else than a hack – so I really didn’t put any effort in the UI.

PS: to achieve perfect look n’ feel, you should have your aboutItem variable be a ToolStripMenuItem instead of a ToolStripButton.
