Hi

I've only started "playing" with web services this weekend. I have one
question which I can't seem to find an solution to...

Is there a way to change the (web) server's name on which your web service
is running programatically? Let say I develop the web service on my
localhost but then I want to deploy it on a company's intranet - the server
hosting the web service will change. How can I during runtime enter the name
of the server hosting the webservice and then use/connect to it?

I hope I'm making sense. Any help would be great.

Look at the URL property of the proxy that your web reference created for you. Just change it to whatever is the correct server name when you deploy to production, or even better read it off a config file.

Sorry but, huh? Where do I find the "URL property of the proxy that your web
reference created"? In the WinApplication somewhere right? I looked through
the code generated by VB it doesn't seem to be there...

I apoligise for asking a seemingly stupid question...

When you refernce a webservice, a proxy is created for you by VS.NET. When you say dim a as webservice, you are referencing that proxy. Just look for the URL property in a.
