How do I move my service reference to its own assembly?

Hi all,

I'm creating a class factory and a bunch of adapters to allow in house applications to communicate with mobile applications over different cellular networks.

I've got my class factory and interface definition [IMobileAdapter] in a single assembly. The class factory will instantiate the correct adapter for communication with a mobile device at runtime. We're doing it this way because we won't know which cellular network we're communicating over until the user specifies the device.

Each adapter will have its own assembly which will contain an implementation of the IMobileAdapter interface specific to the cellular network over which it communicates.

This bit was a piece of cake, I've already created the class factory code and it instantiates the adapters like a charm.

At least one of these adapters uses a service reference (web reference for those still in 2.0 land). When you create the service reference it puts a bunch of stuff in the config file upon which it depends to instantiate the service calls.

So now I get to instantiate an adapter through my class factory in my application [a third assembly].

It is here that I'm running into an issue: It appears that the creation of the service reference is failing because the configuration appears in the app.config for the adapter assembly (which is where it needs to be). When I move the configuration from the adapter assembly into the app.config file in my main application, everything works like a charm.

The issue with this is that the service configuration is not relevant to the main application, and developers using the adapter shouldn't need to know anything about it other than the method calls and return values, including the configuration of said adapter.

Onto my question: Has anyone else had to instantiate service references [or indeed other configuration dependent code] in sub assemblies and how did they [if indeed they did] get their objects to look within its own app.config instead of that of the main application?

I've come across some articles on "per assembly configuration", but it requires writing your own custom code to look at the defined configuration file - this is a simple concept which I could do easily if I was referencing the configuration file from my code. However, because this is a service reference it's more complex in that I haven't found a way to repoint the service reference to a different configuration file.

TIA
Ben

Hello, I'm currently developing a web service that retrieves data from an employee table. I would like to send and retrieve a custom employee class to/from the webservice. I have currently coded the custom employee class and have built it as a separate library (employee.dll). This employee.dll is being referenced by both the web service and the windows application. I face the following problem when I send this class to the webservice.

Hi, After a few hours of asp. net configuration, ACL, web service specifications digging and of course extensive googling, I finally came to you… and as usually I need help… I need to add specific dll files as reference to my WS. At this project for some reason we use ‘copy local = false’. And that is what makes a lot of problems with WS references.

Background: I am building a Windows enterprise application that has separate assemblies for UI, business logic/rules, and data access (i.e. typical N-tier architecture). Many of the assemblies reference a "name and address web service," which gives me validation lists for name honorifics (e.g. Dr, Mr, Miss, Mrs), name suffixes (e.g. Sr, Jr, III), and City/State/ZIP combos. The same name and address web service also can save and retrieve...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
