Dynamic Web Service Reference

[bdtmike]

How do you build a winform app that consumes web services but the web
service reference is dynamic?

I have to write an app that consumes web services. My development is
off-site and the production web service is behind a firewall that I
can't access remotely. So I need to develop using a test site local
to me but when the app is deployed at the customer it needs to hit on
the production site. Therefore, I need to design this app so that the
actual web references are evaluated at run-time through some sort of
config file. What are "best practices" for doing such a thing? Can
this even be done?

Thanks in Advance.

I simply developed my client application in a test environment and changed
the "Url" property of the service at runtime ....

Hope this helps!

It sounds like you might need some configuration files or registry settings
for your app. You can add a registry key to your client machines as part of
your deployment. The value of the configuration dictates the URL for your
web service reference.
