hi all
I have one windows application which capture images.
application pass this image path to dll and that dll convert that image into byte and pass it to web service.
i have used web service because i have one software which extract image into some template for which i need license.so instead of extracting it in each local machine i am using web service.
Now my question is every time i update my web service i need to update web reference from dll then i need to build that dll and add to windows application again.
is there any way that i can update dll directly..
i tried to change config file of dll but it is not affecting the project..
give some suggestions..

I have this in my config file:

XML

<userSettings>
        <Cns_TestWebService.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="Cns_TestWebService_localhost_Service1" serializeAs="String">
                <value>http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx</value>
            </setting>
        </Cns_TestWebService.Properties.Settings>
    </userSettings>

now when i'll change my config file it should affect the web service url.

thank u..
god bless u all..:) :)

First i have added appsetting part in config file of my windows application and set key value as url:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="MyWebServiceURL" value="http://localhost/WebService2/Service1.asmx"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

then included web service in my dll and change its behavior to dynamic
and made changes in its service.cs in constructor as given below.
Setting this.url from app.config.

C#

public Service1() {
           this.Url = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MyWebServiceURL"];
}

then added dll in windows form.
Now this.Url picks up the url from windows application app config.
so i can directly change the url and run the application.
Thanx
