Greetings,
I have been developing a PPC application which calls a web service on
the WLAN. I've just been using the IP address to find the web service
in VS. I ran into an interesting problem when I went to test at a
customer site, because their server does not have the same address. VS
is assuming that when you use a web service, it's universally available
on the Internet. However in this case we're just accessing local data,
and the only reason we're using web services is that the tools we have
available aren't supported on any handheld platforms.
Obviously VS needs to be able to find the web service in order to
construct its interface, so I have to be able to reference our version
on our server, but then change the URL for deployment. Does anyone have
any suggestions on this? I was wondering if we could use a subdomain
like ws_sub.ourcompany.com. The name ourcompany.com would still go to
our Internet web site, but the local DNS could point ws_sub to the
in-house server.
Thanks,
Dave
