I can't recall the exact details at the moment, but you can't directly access the SOAP xml. You have to implement a client side proxy handler for your Web Service that intercepts the various events that occur as the message is processed. THere are hooks at various stages and in this code you can retrieve the full XML.

>>>In VB.NET I simply added a web reference to the web service and called a desired method that way. However, the web service method returns an object type defined in that service, and now I am wondering how I can get the XML from the service in order to pass the XML as to the XSL.Transform method f the stylesheet object.
