Question

I have a web application deployed in production which references an external web service. Looking at the source code in Visual Studio, I see that the web referebce was statically linked. In the proxy reference.cs, it is hardcode to the url. this.Url = ‘http://server/WebService/Service.asmx‘;

I can change the url. But, I would like the proxy to pick up the url from web.config file. How do I enhance proxy code without using Visual Studio to set url behavior to dynamic? would love to get some code samples in C#.

You can use the same code generated by Visual Studio when you change the behavior to dynamic:

public Service1() {     string urlSetting = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings['WebApplication1.localhost.Service1'];     if ((urlSetting != null)) {         this.Url = string.Concat(urlSetting, '');     }     else {         this.Url = 'http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx';     } }
