Is it possible to add a web service reference during runtime? If so, how?

Hi Demetri:
I'd start by looking at the ServiceDescript ionReflector and
ServiceDescript ionImporter classes from
System.Web.Serv ices.Descriptio n. From here you could essentially write
your own WSDL.exe tool that compiles proxies in memory.

no. a web service reference builds a proxy stub for the webservice. it
creates a class with a method for each web service method, with a matching
parameter list. the method call the web service and returns the results. at
runtime you can change the URL if you want.
if you want to dynamically call a web service at runtime, your fetch its
WDSL, and use the .net libraries to parse it, and make the call. you could
build the proxy at runtime using the wsdl.exe tool to generate the source
code, then compile and load the dll. after loading you could use reflection
to make the calls.

Basically, what I want is to have the development version, testing version,
and production versions of the web application to consume the appropriate web
service version (dev, test, prod - respectively). What is the best way to
accomplish this without having to create a separate project for each
environment so it can have its own web references?
Thanks

Hi Demetri:
It sounds as if you need to point the proxy classes at the correct
URL. This would be an easier problem than we first thought. Set the
UrlBehavior property to Dynamic in the properties window and the IDE
will add a section to the application's config file with the URL for
the service. I.e:
<configuratio n>
<appSettings><a dd key="SomeProjec t.localhost.Ser vice1"
value="http://localhost/SomeWebService/Service1.asmx"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
HTH,

I have put some code together that creates an enum dynamically from some
database values.
The enum can be read perfectly by an application that references the
dynamically generated dll.
If I /emit/ a new version of the assembly, and start the application
again, the new values will appear for the enum.
However, suppose I want the application to remain in a running state.

Hi there,
Is it possible to load a web service dynamically? i.e. If the web
service were to exist on a system with a non static IP address, an
application could download a "locator" file that contained details of it's
whereabouts, I have been looking at the "Discovery.DynamicDiscoveryDocument"
class but I think think this is what I am looking for is it? Thanks in
advance.

I have a web service client written in VB.NET. It is a class library
assembly (.dll file). I made a web reference to a web service and set it to
be dynamic, so it puts the URL of the web-reference in the application
configuration file (app.config)
However, at runtime, the code in the DLL thinks that the config file is the
config file of the .exe calling it. It obviously does not contain my web
reference. Here is my proxy...

Is there a way to connect to a Web Service dynamically at runtime (Web

We have an application converted from v1.1 Framework to v2.0. The executable

Using VStudio I have developed a WebService which I placed onto several

During runtime, I tried to change the URL of the webreference to the other

one and errors out.

so that the reference would be dynamic. Locally, within Visual Studio,
it works fine. However, once deployed, the dll I use to access it has

We did a same code base test between 1.1 and 3.5.
In 1.1, when your .NET application reference a library with web reference
(dynamic), you can always easily overwrite the default URL by specifying a
different URL in your app config file or web config file.
Now, in 3.5, I find that this no longer works. No matter what URL you
specify in app config, it still point to default URL, which seems to be a
serious bug to us.
