WebService Dynamic URL

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Hi I have given my web service path from Web.config key, but the problem is when I update the WebService the path gets changed.

So, how can I prevent this scenario?
This is what I have given so far in Reference.cs.

C#

public ABC()
{
    this.Url = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ABC"];
    if ((this.IsLocalFileSystemWebService(this.Url) == true))
    {
        this.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
        this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = false;
    }
    else
    {
        this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = true;
    }
}

I got this from this link How to make your Web Reference proxy URL dynamic[^]

But whenever I update the WebService it gets changed to.

C#

public ABC() 
{
    this.Url = global::Drd.Properties.Settings.Default.CoreBusiness_UbossProvisioning_ABC;
    if ((this.IsLocalFileSystemWebService(this.Url) == true)) {
        this.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
        this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = false;
    }
    else {
        this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = true;
    }
}

Service references changes every time if you are hosting the service in the local server.
If you want that to be static you need to deploy your service on the server or specify specific Port number to that. In that way you can restrict that to change dynamically.

Hope this will help you. Let me know if that doesnt work.

web service is not a local host...its in a separate server...
that address is specified in the web config key...
I hope what am telling is the answer to ur question : )

Solution 2

than wht i think is u just need to add the proxy of the service. You dont have to read that from the webconfig. Just add the service reference and that will automatically update the web config.

This is wht i understand from the reference you have given.

Instead of using from the webconfig just use the object your service and use that.

Solution 3

Refrence.cs is a generated file so changing it at any time is bad practice (see file header)

Refreshing web reference is regenerating this file according its properties. You got the code you see because your URL Behaviour is dynamic.

The code you see means that in your web.config file there is a part reads somesing like this:

XML

<applicationsettings>
   <drd.properties.settings>
        <setting name="CoreBusiness_UbossProvisioning_ABC" serializeas="String">
            <value>your service url goes here</value>
        </setting>
    </drd.properties.settings>
</applicationsettings>

If you want to change the url you should do it in the web.config file...

so if i put the url in webconfig file and i remove the thing you mentioned above, it will work?

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 1-Oct-13 1:07am

The best is to let VS generate the code for you and after it just do changes to the web.config file. That should do the trick...

Arjun Menon U.K 1-Oct-13 1:08am

Its there in appconfig file. I removed the key and when i updated it , it still getting changed to the
global::Drd.Properties.Settings.Default.CoreBusiness_UbossProvisioning_ABC;

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 1-Oct-13 1:17am

It's all right. You should go now to your app.config, find the setting called CoreBusiness_UbossProvisioning_ABC and edit it's value to the url you want!

Arjun Menon U.K 1-Oct-13 10:49am

the reason i did so is that we don't have to stop the running site so as to change the url. Since the app config exists , applying the url won't do my job, i guess... :(

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 1-Oct-13 11:38am

See. Changing web.config file while the site is running will recycle the site - I think that this not good for you...
In desktop application (and by careful partitioning the web site also there) you can use app.config file (too).
Desktop application also loads only once its configuration file so edition it will not help much. BUT! You may use ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection to refresh values just before creating the web-service object...
