I am developing an asp.net application using webservice. But as of now my webservice is in test domain.so the link is say link1. So I'm using the link to create instance of webservice.
link1.service serv=new link1.service;

But I've to upload the service to a different domain latter.So I've to change the link say link2.

But I don't want to write code in this way.I want to set a variable or something globally for my asp app and use the variable all over the app.In this way,if I change the variable (or the storage) name with the new link,then I don't have to change code all the pages.

I hope I can make you understand.So please tell me a way to do this.Can I set this in web.config?If yes,then how?

I believe you are only changing the URL. In that case, when we add a service or web reference, there is an entry made in app.config or web.config file which points to service URL. You can simply change that. An example app.config file the a web reference will have an entry like this:

XML

<applicationSettings>
        <ConsoleApplication1.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="[SettingNameHere]" serializeAs="String">
                <value>[ASMX URL here]</value>
            </setting>
        </ConsoleApplication1.Properties.Settings>
    </applicationSettings>
