I have a non-wcf server that I call from the WCF client, and I need to access the registered soap error if the server throws it (it contains the feedback that I need for the user). I used the example from How to get SOAP 1.1 failure information from a WCF client (without a failure contract) , but it’s a pain if I have a failure contract defined in wsdl, at least according to the SOAP specification, and the error contains error code and error string.
<wsdl:types>
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.cisco.com/BTS10200/i01" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
...
<complexType name="BtsSoapException">
<sequence>
<element name="error_code" type="xsd:int"/>
<element name="error_string" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<element name="fault" type="impl:BtsSoapException"/>
...
<wsdl:message name="BtsSoapException">
<wsdl:part element="impl:fault" name="fault"/>
</wsdl:message>
...
<wsdl:portType name="Bts10200Operations">
<wsdl:operation name="login">
<wsdl:input message="impl:loginRequest" name="loginRequest"/>
<wsdl:output message="impl:loginResponse" name="loginResponse"/>
<wsdl:fault message="impl:BtsSoapException" name="BtsSoapException"/>
</wsdl:operation>

Service import recognizes all this correctly and generates the correct code constructs:
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute(Name="BtsSoapException", Namespace="http://www.cisco.com/BTS10200/i01")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public partial class BtsSoapException : object ...
....
[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(Namespace="http://www.cisco.com/BTS10200/i01", ConfigurationName="CiscoBTSService.Bts10200Operations")]
public interface Bts10200Operations {
[System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(Action="", ReplyAction="*")]
[System.ServiceModel.FaultContractAttribute(typeof(TestCiscoBTS.CiscoBTSService.BtsSoapException), Action="", Name="fault")]
TestCiscoBTS.CiscoBTSService.loginResponse login(TestCiscoBTS.CiscoBTSService.loginRequest request);
...
When I call login()with an invalid account, I get the correct answer on wsdl:
