URL Changing

[BS]

Hello everybody
We're currently writing an application that consumes a WS.
I have added the Web reference for the services which was pointing to a demo
site.
Everything now works fine. I need to change my reference to point to the
live site where the same web service exists.

Is there a way for me to add some kind of variable in my code to use one or
the url without having 2 sets of references and by code test "if demo then
else" or 2 set of code where just the reference would be different ?

Thank you for your help ?

Yep just put the Url of the webservice into the configuration file and then
at runtime read it into the Url property of the webservice.

Hi,
In the web reference properties, change the URL Behaviour property from
Static to Dynamic.
Now this webservice URL will be stored in the app.config file.

You can change the reference in the app.config file to the live site at any
time.

You need not to change any code.

The application will take the URL from the config file.

Hi,

You can change it manually.
There is no programming required.
