error in webservice response

I'm using VB .Net 2003.

When using a webservice, if I have any parameters wrong or missing in a
method call I'm doing, the remote server is returning something, but all I
see is
'System.Xml.XmlException' occurred in system.xml.dll The root element is
missing.

Is there a way I can capture the remote server response to my request?

Thanks

Scott

Ok I actually found that I could monitor the SOAP messages with YATT (pcap
trace).

But what is odd is when I get the error that says root element is missing,
there is nothing being transmited.

This leads me to conclude that it is the XML document on my end that is
missing the root element. Why would that be?
