web service URL - changing at run-time

I understand how to change the URL of a web service at run-time. But, if I
am using a web service in a windows application, what is a good way to
inform the application of the current location of the web service, without
recompiling and redistributing the application?

Bill,

One thing you might want to take a look at, is setting up a UDDI
server. It can be used to manage your web services in a central
location. Your client applications can easily query your UDDI server to
find the current location of you services. When you move a service, you
just update the setting in the server and all the clients will point to
the new location.

Windows 2003 ships with a UDDI server component . You can check out the
following links for more info.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...t/uddifaq.mspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/nhp/Defaul...entid=28001204

Another thing you can look at, is just setting the URLBehaviour
property of your web reference to dynamic. With this setting, the URL
of your web service is stored in your web.config. This would allow you
to avoid having to recompile your application. However, you would still
have to redeploy a new web.config. Therefore, I would recommend the
UDDI server.

Hope that helps

Setting up UDDI could be the ideal wayout.
Another way could be you can read it from an XML file, so that you dont have
worry about recompling.

Hello I've written a small C# program that uses VFPOLEDB it is working perfectly. Then, I redesigned it to work as service (as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbwlkwalkthroughcreatingwindowsserviceapplication.asp). Unfortunetly, now my service is unable to use VFPOLEDB, stating that it "is not registered" on my local machine. Service is installed on LocalService account.

Hi. I'm having some problems consuming a webservice. The server keeps complaining about the wrong element beeing sent.. I have this method that takes two strings String_1 and String_2 The server expects to get String_1 first, but somehow my client (C# .net cf) sends String_2 first.. On top of that, If i build solution and run the .exe file, it works fine.

I had originally written a program as a c# console application. The program used a reference that I wrote in c++. Later I was told to re-write the application as a windows service. When the service would start up, as soon as it accessed the reference (by instantiating a class within the reference), the service would crash. In the event viewer I saw that it throw a System.IO.FileNotFoundException saying that the c++ reference was missing...

I'm a bit puzzled by the current recommendation not to send Datasets or Datatables between application tiers. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306134 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996381.aspx Formerly, with classic Microsoft DNA architecture, the ADO Recordset was a primary transport medium, recommended for transmitting data between application tiers. In fact, there are whole books written on the subject.

Hello, I have a problem with our OnlineBackupService.exe. This is a Windows Service which is built in .Net 1.1 and basically grabs files from the file system and will try to upload them using WebServices. The service is installed by default using LocalSystem account. The exact problem is that sometimes this service is not allowed to resolve the target webservice. This results in the following exception:

Yes, sorry I tried to make it clear in the original question that I want to get the user token of the service - ie. the account the service is running under. I know services don't have user tokens - I suspect users do have tokens, hence "user token", otherwise we might call them "service tokens" or somesuch :-) If you read the question again, you migh see that the fundamental question is, *assuming there is no other approach*: The...
