Another super tool which can simplify consuming of Biztalk (or any other) webservices are SoapUI from http://www.soapui.org

@Nikolai: Yes, thanks for the tip! I've looked into to Log4Net but never used in a actual project. I guess one could also configure .NET Trace Listeners in the BizTalk config file even thought that's a bit dangerous in a production environment, and could be a maintenance issue in the case of multiple hosts (ergo multiple config files).

If you are using System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write you should consider using Log4Net, it works a treat and gives you runtime configuration over the location of the output.

i.e. trace in development, text file or eventlog in production.
