Hi David,

In .NET 2.0, the webservice URL is still stored in your configuration file
(web.config or app.config). If you open the generated "Reference.cs", you
will see code like following:

       public Service() {
           this.Url =
global::ConsoleApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default.ConsoleApplication1_
localhost_Service;

It's now using a strong typed Setting named
"ConsoleApplication1_localhost_service" which can be modified using the
Setting Designer in Visual Studio 2005:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730869(vs.80).aspx

If you open the App.config, you will see:

   <configSections>
       <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings"
type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
           <section name="ConsoleApplication1.Properties.Settings"
type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false"
/>
       </sectionGroup>
   </configSections>
   <applicationSettings>
       <ConsoleApplication1.Properties.Settings>
           <setting name="ConsoleApplication1_localhost_Service"
serializeAs="String">
               
<value>http://localhost:4799/WebService1/Service.asmx</value>
           </setting>
       </ConsoleApplication1.Properties.Settings>
   </applicationSettings>

This is called Application Settings:

To modify this config using Msbuild, please refer to following article:

http://geekswithblogs.net/paulwhitblog/archive/2006/04/11/74844.aspx

It has some msbuild task to let you easily update the config file when
building the project.

Hope this helps.
