I am consuming a web service in my windows forms application by adding a web reference, for which I have the url stored in a database. Now that the endpoint url has been updated, I am wondering if I should update my reference within the solution or update the url in the database should be enough?
var addressService = new verify_client_ep();
addressService.url= objServiceURL.Table[0].WS_URL.ToString();
Please provide me with a solution.
I am consuming an external web service for which they have changed the url which I stored in my database. will updating the url to the new url suffice?
If they didn't change anything else but the endpoint, then yes.

I have a WCF POX (RESTful) service which is working well. It can be accessed at a Url which takes the format https://APPLICATIONNAME/service.svc/postdata
The APPLICATIONNAME is the host name and DNS name, to map the call through to IIS 7.
The question I have now, is that ideally I wouldn't want to use the "service.svc" part of the url and just use the following Url to post to the application;
https://APPLICATIONNAME/postdata
Any pointers on how I do this? Ideally I wouldn't want to use aspnetcompatibility. I would have thought this would be a standard thing to do - but can't fine on tips on how to do it.
Many thanks
I need to enable my webAPI REST service to accept a request in the format of:
www.someURL.com/OldService.svc
I am working on an existing application that used to use WCF. These methods do not have to return anything but a 200 response. We need the REST service to handle this call so we can retire the old WCF service, but systems will fail if we don't support this WCF request.
Has anybody done this before?
edit:
Is it possible to do this with just adding a new route?
You can add a WCF service (.svc) to a Web API project by simply adding a New Item and selecting Web, it will then show up in the list as WCF Service.
Maybe you could use the Route attribute(using System.Web.Http) for the old service? I've used this for route names like [Route("SomeRoute")] but I'm not 100% sure if the .svc extension will interfere with anything.
[Route("OldService.svc")]
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage NewData(Data SomeData)
{}
Got a bit of an odd problem. Here goes:
I have two ASP.NET applications: A web app and a web service app.
Information arriving via the webservice effects data in the database used by the web app.
One particular bit of data controls items in a drop down menu - when the data is altered in the app it can call:
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Remove
but I now need to clear the cache in the web service as i can recieve messages which update that information.
Can anyone recommend a way of doing this?
Cache invalidation can be hard. Off the top of my head I can think of 3 solutions of varying complexity which may or may not work for you.
First, you could write a web service for the web app that the web service app calls to invalidate the cache. This is probably the hardest.
Second, you could have the web service app write a "dirty" flag in the database that the web app could check before it renders the drop down menu. This is the route I would go.
Third, you could simply stop caching that particular data.
You could have a web method whose sole purpose is to clear the cache.
var webRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(clearCacheURL);
var webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();
// receive the response and return it as function result
var sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
var result = sr.ReadToEnd();
Implement the cache with an expiry time.
Cache.Insert("DSN", connectionString, null,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2), Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
Cache.Insert Method
You can try SQL Dependency. It will trigger an event when the table you have subscribed has any changes.

I have a web service on my c# application. I want to update webservice url when i clicked button. How can i do this.
The web service endpoint address is usually defined in the application's config file, but you can also specify the url in the client's constructor:
MyClient client = new MyClient("http://95.9.5.151/SabisOdemeWS/Service1.asmx");
To make the URL in the Reference.cs map class code behind look for the web service URL in your web.config file, we need to change this setting to Dynamic. See the article here.
I would like to build an app in C# that connects to an Apache AXIS web service and performs the following operations via SOAP.
Login in to the server.
POST string data to server
Receive and display server response
Here's the tough part. I do not have access to the server, nor do I know where the .JWS file is located on the server. I was able to get to the WSDL file in my web browser, so I know a "Login" operation exists as well as an operation to take in data.
I have tried accessing the web service via URL, but I keep getting this message:
Hi there, this is an AXIS service!
Perhaps there will be a form for
invoking the service here...
In summary, is there anyway I can connect to this web service when all I have is the URL of the WSDL file? Are web services accessible via URL?
Thank you
Use WCF, and generate client proxies to the web service using the svcutil.exe tool.
running svcutil.exe http://url.to/webservice?WSDL the_wsdl.wsdl /language:C# should generate proxy classes you can use in your C# project, and you'd call the service e.g. like
BasicHttpBinding myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(); //might not even need these
// 2 lines if you ran svcutil.exe directly on the web service URL
EndpointAddress myEndpoint = new EndpointAddress("http://url.to/webservice");
TestClient client = new TestClient(myBinding,myEndpoint); //the generated classes
// svcutil.exe created
client.SomeOperation(42); // call an SomeOperation of the web service
Thanks for everyone's help. Looking back on this question, I can see how severely confused I was. Here is the solution I followed.
Assuming you know the URL of the WSDL file of the service you wish to connect to then just do the following.
Boot up Visual Studio
On the top toolbar navigate to Data -> Add New Data Source then choose Service in the new dialog
In the address bar, enter the URL of the wsdl file (EXAMPLE: http://server.com/services/displayName?wsdl)
Near the bottom of the dialog, change the namespace to something relevant to the project (EXAMPLE: sampleService)
Now Visual Studio should compile the client proxies for you that you can use to access the web services on your server. To access one of the services, all you need to do is create a new object from the class.
//Example
sampleService.ClassName test = new sampleService.ClassName();
test.displayName("Jack");
