Dave has posted that 3.0 has shipped so I can talk about the product version I have been beta-testing for a while. I have been using SOAPScope since I first saw it at the first Web Services DevCon that Chris ran up in Oregon. It rocked me then and it does even more with 3.0. To me WSDL is like reading Chinese but SOAPScope has always prsented Pseudo-Code and Tree-Views, among other views, of the WSDL to make it comprehensible to me and also a living thing. Now the fine folks done the road from me (they are litterally down the road from my house) have outdone themselves. Among the many new features is one that I love: SOAPScope integration into VS.NET. From inside the IDE I can AnalyzeService to dig into my WSDL and also I can see all the messages going back and forth all from inside the IDE. This is just great stuff and belongs in every web services developer toolbox.
