Answer 1

If you're using the legacy ASMX web services, then see the example at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.services.protocols.soapextension.aspx. The MSDN link you posted was for web services inside of SQL Server.

WCF is Web Services. They are not two separate things.
Use WCF for All New Web Service Development, instead of legacy ASMX or obsolete WSE
Use File->New Project to create Web Service Projects

Answer 2

i did the same things as you refer the url http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.services.protocols.soapextension.aspx but it did not work. so any other advise.

Hi,

its time to know about FIDDLER. For Video tutorials download these videos that teaches how to use it and see incoming and outgoing request and reply data from your computer.
