Answer 1

Use web service proxy's Url property to set the new url dynamically. Store URL of the web service in your application's parameter table / config file. At runtime always get the web service's Url from that parameter and set it to your web service's Url as destination.

Ok, I'll give an example how to use it. For example let's say we have to add this web service to your project :

http://server1/service1/service.asmx

And then we specify MyService as proxy name to your web service. Then while we use this web service set the Url property like that to specify your proxy's destination :

MyService myService = new MyService();
myService.Url = "http://server2/service1/service.asmx";
myService.GetOrders(customerNo);
