Question Call more than one web service if one service address has time out

[raysefo]

Hi,

What i would like to do is call a web service from address A and if it gets time out due to heavy work then it should call web service from address B. How can i implement this scenario?

thanks in advance.

Best regards

i have a wcf service and have attached to it using visual studio's service/web reference.. it's generated a service client etc and there does seem to be a way to change the url it targets dynamically, but ive never got it to work.. if this is your situ and you do get it working, post back and let us know? cheers
