Setting URL Behaviour to Dynamic in C++ Project

[James]

Hello,

I have an existing MFC C++ project which I need to add the ability of
sending WSDL calls out to a web service. When this project is deployed the
web service URL will always change depending on the user's local setup.

I can use the "Add a Web Reference" wizard to do this, however when the
project is in C++ the option to set the URL Behaviour to Dynamic is not in
the property list. I noticed if I create a C# project however, that the
option is always there, allowing the property to be toggled between
static/dynamic.

I'm not too sure why I can't change the web reference to dynamic through the
IDE. Perhaps there is a way to accomplish what I need to do by using
WSDL.exe directly but I'm not really sure how.

Thanks for any thoughts.

After some further research, it appears that it is possible to set the URL at
runtime by setting URL property of the web service proxy. I.e.:

WebService ws = new WebService();
ws.Url = <webserviceurl> ; // read <webserviceur l> from registry or config
etc...

I wonder if this approach would work, despite the fact that my web proxy has
been created with it's URL Behavior property set to static, because the IDE
won't let me change it. (see previous post).

Thanks.
