We have a web service handles employee information. It
will be used by numerous other applications.

Question is, what is the best way for the other
applications to access the web service? I am concerned if
each application has its own web reference to this web
service, then if we move the web service to a different
box, we have to change the web reference for all the
applications?

If in your application you set the web reference to dynamic, it will put the
URL to the webservice in the app.config file. If you change the webserver
that has your webservice, just edit that app.config and it will work
perfectly for ya! No recompile and redistrubite!
