Using Sample Data for WSDL Messages

WSDL files define operations that receive an input message and, optionally, return an output message and a fault message. In the Web References view, you can add sample data values for message parts. When you are ready to test your process, you can load the sample message part values into your variables to simulate the actual messages exchanged by Web services. As you execute and debug your process, you can inspect the input, output, and fault data values as they are processed.

By adding sample data values to Web Reference messages, you have a default set of data across all projects that refer to WSDL messages. For complex messages, Web References view keeps track of all sample files and their locations on your file system or project and presents the list to you when you are loading values into message variables.
