dynamic url for my soap server

[siep]

I have a VB program (VB2008) that I need to deploy to many offices. All of them have their own server with database. I use SOAP to access the database.

For testing purposes I added a wsdl located on a specific IP address. For deployment I want to be able to set the wsdl IP address through a parameter.

Anybody know how to do this?

You can do this both with the proxy clients constructor and with its Endpoint.Address property.

Still need some help - programmatically change URL for WSDL

OK, I have been researching that, but I can't find any VB examples that state what variable I have to set to an IP address, so that it is overwritten. Am I looking for something too simple?

Am I looking for something too simple?

IMO, yes

Here's an example using the proxy client constructor:

Dim serv As New ServiceReference1.ServiceSoapClient("ServiceSoap", "http://localhost:50320/WebService1/Service.asmx")

The endpointConfiguration name "ServiceSoap" you have to find in your own sources. You can also create a default instance and check the Endpoint.Contract.Name property.

Here's one example changing the Endpoint.Address property after the instance is created:

Dim serv As New ServiceReference1.ServiceSoapClient()
serv.Endpoint.Address = New ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://localhost:50320/WebService1/Service.asmx")
