Hello,

I have an application in C# that makes calls to a web service and the app
currently contains a reference to a WSDL.

Since the server technology is a commercial product, some customers have
their own servers, etc.

I was wondering if it is possible to dynamically point the application to
any appropriate WSDL which would allow the C# code to continue to make the
simple method calls, etc.?

Regards,

Todd

change the URL behaviour on the web reference properties from within
Visual Studio's Solution Explorer for the proxy class.

Hey Ollie,

I think that I need to rephrase the question.

Let's suppose that I have a dialog where a user can specify a URL.

How can I programmatically update or work with a webservice under such
circumstances?

For example, can I do something like the following:

webservice MyService=new webservice(URL);
Type MyResults=MyService.GetType(webservice_results[]);
webservice_results[] MyResults=MyService.CallMethod(param1,param2);

Can it be done that easily, that dynamically?

Regards,

Todd
