I have an ASP.Net project, in which I added a web reference, for example
http://Sandbox/service.asmx
after I pass the testing, I want to change the web service address to
http://Production/service/asmx, which has the exactly same interface as the
sandbox.

My question is how to dynamically configure the ASP.Net application point to
the right web service address after I deploy the code from test to
production enviroment without recompile the code?
Anyone can point me to the right direction how to solve this issue? Thanks

In the properties for the web service reference is a "Static | Dynamic"
option. I don't remember the actual property name, but as there are only a
half dozen properties, it's easy to find.

If you switch it to "Dynamic", it'll pull the URL out of the web.config
file. You can then have a different config file for production / dev / test
/ staging.
