You have to programmatically configure the binding in your code.
1) Store 2 key values in config
2) In code fetch values to the key/ address you want to configure the service to and expose the service

Yes you can.Check below details for more info.

Quote:
I think what you want is to swap out at runtime a version of your config file, if so create a copy of your config file (also give it the relevant extension like .Debug or .Release) that has the correct addresses (which gives you a debug version and a runtime version ) and create a postbuild step that copies the correct file depending on the build type.

Here is an example of a postbuild event that I've used in the past which overrides the output file with the correct version (debug/runtime)

copy "$(ProjectDir)ServiceReferences.ClientConfig.$(ConfigurationName)" "$(ProjectDir)ServiceReferences.ClientConfig" /Y

where : $(ProjectDir) is the project directory where the config files are located $(ConfigurationName) is the active configuration build type

I hope this will help to you.

You may have several configuration files for the services, and generate your communication channels from them, e.g.

C#

public static ServerSide.IMyFirstService GetMyFirstService()
{
    string configFile = Clients.DetermineConfigFile("MyFirstService"); // a function to determine the correct config file
    Configuration myFirstServiceConfiguration = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = configFile }, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
    ConfigurationChannelFactory<IMyFirstService> myFirstServiceChannelFactory = new ConfigurationChannelFactory<IMyFirstService>("TCPEndpoint", myFirstServiceConfiguration, null);
    IMyFirstService myFirstServiceClient = myFirstServiceChannelFactory.CreateChannel();
    return myFirstServiceClient;
}

When you change the tab, change the service used accordingly.
