C# Proxy: how to switch between local and remote server

[Davidhere40]

I'm using a visual studio generated proxy to use the web services, but
I can't seem to get it to switch from using a local version to the
actual web based web service. It always always always uses the local
version. I thought about creating a web reference to the version I
deployed to the server, but that means that I would have to change
every reference if I wanted to debug the code locally. I just want to
use the proxy and then have the proxy switch between the local test
web service and the remote, live web service.

Any one know how to do this? I've been stuck on it for days.

The only three places I can find to change these settings are at:1)
the web config folder. But I don't know how to add settings to it, if
its possible for what I want to do. 2) the web service project's
properties page. It allows me to choose to use IIS web server or the
visual studio development server, but that doesn't do a damn thing.
and 3) the web services .asmx.cs file has [WebService(Namespace =
"http://<ipAddress>/MyWebService")] in it. But that doesn't help me.

Thanks

Dave,

In your code that accesses the generated proxy, try setting the Url property
to the Url of the production web service. You can set the Url in the
web.config file as an appSettings item, and then pull it in when you need
it. This way the code does not need to change, only a config file on
deployment.

Hope this helps,
Steve
