I think i didnt clearly explain my last post. Here is the sample
scenario that I want to accomplish.

I have 3 web services.

1. http://development/default.asmx
2. http://staging/default.asmx
3. http://production/default.asmx

I have one client. I have a message box on the client where i want to
specify the service to use ( ie, the above web services dev, staging, or
prod).

I know how to set the client to use one web service by using
wsdt.....url...etc......, however I want to specify the web service to
use at run time.

Anyone have any sample code or anything that could help me set this up??

You can set the URL property of the proxy class on the client side:

Dim ws As new TheServiceProxy
ws.Url&#th;eUrl

A good place to store the URL is in the application's configuration file
much like you would a database connection string.

E.g.:
1. In the web.config:
<appSettings>
<add key="WebserviceURI" value="http://www.somewhere.com/webservice.asmx"; />
</appSettings>

2. use it:
string strWebServiceURL =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["WebserviceURI"];
MyProxy objProxy = new MyProxy;
objProxy.url = strWebServiceURL;

HTH,

You can compile the proxy client using the /appsettingurlkey: argument.
This will add an if() eval in the proxy client. The if() tells the proxy to
use the config value if it is available, or the URL that the proxy was
created with if the config value does not exist.

In your config file you can add an appSetting key, and provide different
values for dev, stage, or prod.

Here's an example:
<WSDL>

wsdl.exe http://localhost/TrivialFunTools.asmx?WSDL /l:CS
/out:AWebService.cs /n:Proxies /appsettingurlkey:AWebServiceUrl

<this is put into the proxy class>

[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
public AWebService() {
    string urlSetting =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["AWebServiceUrl"];
    if ((urlSetting != null)) {
        this.Url = urlSetting;
    }else {
        this.Url =
            "http://localhost/AWebService.asmx";;
    }
}

<web.config>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="AWebServiceUrl"
        value="http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/services/AWebService.asmx";
        />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

Is there a way to configure VS.NET to do this when you add a
web-reference to a project, or does this have to be done by hand. If it
has to be done by hand, would the resulting proxy class be added via the
normal "Add Reference..." method?

Thanks,
Matthew
