I have code that references a web service, and I’d like the address of that web service to be dynamic (read from a database, config file, etc.) so that it is easily changed.

The web service signature will be the same across all deployments, just located elsewhere.

    Web Reference Properties

    Changing the value to dynamic will put an entry in your app.config.

    Here is the CodePlex article that has more information.
