Question

I have numerous Web Services in my project that share types.

For simplicity I will demonstrate with two Web Services.

WebService1 at http://MyServer/WebService.asmx webService2 at http://MyServer/WebService.asmx

When I generate the proxy for these two services I use:

wsdl /sharetypes http://MyServer/WebService1.asmx http://MyServer/WebService2.asmx /appsettingurlkey:WebServiceUrl /namespace:MyNamespace /out:MyProxy.cs

The problem is that the appsettingurlkey is the same for each Web Service in the proxy file. I want to be able to specify multiple appsettingurlkey parameters. How is this accomplished? I figure since the /sharetypes parameter became available, there should be a solution for specifying the appsettingurlkey specifically for each Web Service identified.

If this is not possible with the wsdl.exe, what would you propose I do? I would rather not update the generated code that wsdl.exe outputs and I don’t want to go through my whole application passing in the Url to each instance of the Web Services.

Answer 1

The proxy classes generated are partial classes, so my solution would be to add your own constructor in a different (non-generated) code file, which explicitly reads a different setting for each proxy.
