i'm using a web reference in my project, but the soap:address location needs to be changed based on a value in my web.config.
Is it possible to change this at runtime?

so the url will change the area which starts <soap:address location?
<wsdl:service name="ReportExecutionServi
<wsdl:documentation xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas
<wsdl:port name="ReportExecutionServi
<soap:address location="http://myserver.
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
Dim rsExec As New Rse2005.ReportExecutionSer
rsExec.Url = ReportServerASMX()
where reportserverasmx is a function which gets the path from web.config. I left it as myserver.mydomain expecting it to throw an error but it still used the value stored in the wsdl file
web.config entry
<add key="ReportServerASMX" value="http://myserver.myd
no it would not change the file. It would change the server url at runtime. In fact it would change the discomap dynamically
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DiscoveryClientResultsFile
<Results>
<DiscoveryClientResult referenceType="System.Web.
</Results>
</DiscoveryClientResultsFil
so the WSDL will be reused, but will be executed on a different web service. However, all files will maintain their original xml, the change will occur in memory only and accomplish the same thing as changing it physically. From what I understand that's what you wanted. If you want to actually physically edit the wsdl and discomap files then you have to open them as an xmldocument, although I don't see why you would want to go through the trouble if you just want to point it to a different server.
no i don't want to edit it. it is a web service to execute reporting services report. so when i'm on development i want it to access my development server, but when on production i want it to use the production server.
i tried setting the .url, but it still used the value stored in the wsdl file and not the value i was assigning it.
I'm afraid it uses the discomap file, that's where it decides where the executing server is, if you manually modify the url in the discomap file then it will use that report services server. In fact I have done this very thing in my recent project with the report services web service. I also added a feature that will decide the url of the server at runtime by using the url attribute of the DoscoveryClientResult element in the discomap file. Are you positive you have done this and have used a valid address?
yes, use the url property of the web service object. Here is the code in C#:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
rs.Url = "http://realserver.mydomai
from this point when you execute a method you will use the server designated in the Url
i have it set as myserver.mydomain.local in the wsdl file
i added the code you suggested to change it to "development.fra1_wpp1.loc
this is my error
--------------------------
Error

A Runtime Error has occurred.

Line: 4723
Error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestMa

Yes No

no LOL i put that junk one in the wsdl file.
i already know a good one connects because that is the only way i can get it work.
i put a good one in code to change the url but it isn't picking that one up.
That is why i thought it would be easier to just email it. probably something would jump right out if you saw the code.
web.config value for the report server.
<appSettings>
<add key="ReportServerASMX" value="http://development.
</appSettings>
Module to get the value
Public Function ReportServerASMX() As String
Return ConfigurationManager.AppSe
End Function
also I said you were right changing it in the discomap didn't work, I am saying change it in the C# like this:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
rs.Url = "http://realserver.mydomai
in vb.net then like this:
Dim rs As new ReportingService()
rs.Url = "http://realserver.mydomai
ok so based on your code change this:
Dim rsExec As New Rse2005.ReportExecutionSer
rsExec.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache
to this:
Dim rsExec As New Rse2005.ReportExecutionSer
rsExec.Url = "http://development.fra1_w
rsExec.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache

Sure just use the Url property of your webservice class.
