change Web References from web.config (or another solution?

ADingOD

Hi!

It's any solution to change the Web References when the application is
"moved" from "test" to "production" without a new compilation?

I mean to use one "set" of webservices when is running on "test" and
another "set" when is running on "production" without a recompilation.

Any manual edit of web.config, registry... is permited.

Thanks,
Alexandru

Hi Alexandru,

You can configure the web service to pull the URL based on a setting in a
configuration file, rather than a hardcoded value. To change the location,
simply change the config file with no recompile. Here is how to do it: Add
your web reference. Go to "Solution Explorer", right click on the web
reference name (eg. "localhost") and choose properties. In the property
window change "Url Behavior" from "Static" to "Dynamic". If the web
service client is a non-web application, this will automatically create a
file name app.config with the URL to the web service.

<appsettings><add key="myapplication.mywebservice.service1"
value="http://webservices.myCompany.com/myServices.... </appsettings>

After you comiple your client app, the configuration file of it (such as
something.exe.config) will have the same content as the app.config. Now,
you can deploy the configuration along with the client executable. If you
ever need to change the web service location, you can open the
something.exe.config file in notepad and change the value attribute. If
the web service client is a web application such as asp.net web form,
changing "Url Behavior" from "Static" to "Dynamic" will automatically add
the same appsettings to web.config. Now, if you ever need to change the web
service location, you can open web.config file in notepad and change the
value attribute.

Best regards,
Lewis

Right, it is the thread I initiated in infopath newsgroup ;-) . looks like
there is no other solution in Infopath. Although I do not understand since I
suppose Infopath has been written with .NEDT Framework SDK.

Thanks anyway.
