Am i hardcoding the web service ?

[moko]

I have a C# webservice file, which i compile , make a corresponding .asmx
file, then create a proxy .cs file using WSDL, compile this proxy, and
consume it from a windows form, which is hosted in an IE browser. Now, the
proxy file refers to http://localhost/somevirtualfolder/something.asmx. All
works well, when i use it from the same PC where the web-service is hosted.

However, when i try to access the same web-service across the intranet, i
get some security error. Is it because the "localhost" in the proxy needs to
be set to the name of the server , or is there some other hidden problem ?

Any guesses ?

You can use Dynamic properties to solve this issue. By doing so the location
of the webservice is stored in the app.config file (xml) which you can edit
with notepad for example (without recompiling the project!).

To do so, just set the URL Behavior property of the webreference to
Dynamic. The app.config file will ve created automatically!

In the server side, open IE
and get to Tools-Internet Options-Connection-LAN Settings-
Advanced, add http://localhost in the Exceptions : Do not
use proxy server with....

Now try to access again. You should get this smoothly.
