动态添加WCF服务参考

Question

I am creating a WCF service and Client application. I want to use the service in the client application.

The location where the WCF service will be hosted is not yet finalized. I want to dynamically add the reference of the hosted WCF service without building the client application. How can I achive this?

Thanks,

Ram

Do this:

• create the client as you would in any normal case
• change the service URL in the config when the service "moves" around

I think this would be by far the easiest solution.

If you insist on a dynamic proxy - there's a sample of a WCF dynamic proxy here:

Scroll down a bit to find the sample. It was C# code to show you how to dynamically create a WCF proxy all in code.
