how to set webservice url properly ?

Question

I have a ASP.NET application. Inside the asp.net application I have a folder called WebServices where I keep all the .asmx files.

I am referring these asmx files inside asp.net .cs files. Instead of giving the full url to the webservice.url property how can i set the path like this.

 ds.Url = this.ResolveUrl("~/WebServices/xxx.asmx"); 

Answer 1

Is HttpServerUtility.MapPath what you're looking for?

ds.Url = Server.MapPath("~/WebServices/xxx.asmx");

You can get hold of it either via Server property in Page class, or via HttpContext.Current.Server chain.

Even better, I'd store this URL in an application configuration file.

Answer 2

why don't you store webservice url in web.config file

Answer 3

Your questions suggests that you have your webservices in the same project as the consuming apllication. This will not work. Move all your webservices into a seperate project.
