WebServic dynamic url

How to make your Web Reference proxy URL dynamic

开发环境和部署环境，Webservice 的URL不一样

需将url 配置到 web.config文件中。

Introduction

I have been asked before, how to make the URL property for a web reference to a web service in a project, configurable in a config file instead of compiled in the web reference proxy. This is most useful when you want to deploy a project with a web reference between different business environments (like between Test/QA and Production) without recompiling the project. There is a simple way to do this that requires no coding at all on the developer's part (provided you are using Visual Studio for .NET).

Getting Started

To follow this article, first you need to have a compiled web service to reference, and a project in which you wish to add a web reference. After you have added your web reference (which creates the proxy class with references to the web service for you automatically using VS .NET), you need to set your solution view to 'Show All':

This shows the Reference.cs file for the Reference.map. This is the proxy class file that VS.NET generates automatically for you when you add a web reference.

Open up this file and notice under the constructor for the proxy class that the URL is hard coded for you inside the constructor:

Changing the URL from Static to Dynamic

We are going to change the hard coded URL in the proxy class Reference.cs to a key in the web.config of the web service client project. An appSettings section will be added automatically with the current URL, and code will be placed in theReference.cs proxy class constructor to look for the URL there. All this will be done by changing one property setting on the proxy reference.

If you look at the web reference properties (below):

you can see that there is a configuration setting called 'URL Behavior'. This setting is by default set to Static.

To make the URL in the Reference.cs map class code behind look for the web service URL in your web.config file, we need to change this setting to Dynamic:

Doing this in VS.NET does two things for you. It changes the Reference.cs file to have the code to look for the WSDL URL in the project's web.config file:

And it adds the URL as a key value to the projects web.config file under appSettings:

Now you can set the URL to different servers for deployment in different environments, without having to change the code. You just change the URL in your config file for your project.
