Deployment of Webservices PDA App

[glenn]

I have written a webservice and a client app that runs on the PDA. I have
everything working great but now need to deploy the solution to another web
server for further testing. Can anyone tell me what files need to be moved
along with my exe and what needs to change inside them to allow the client
app to find the server?

It currently appears this information is compiled into my binary but sure
hope its not. I would hate to think I have to manually change this stuff
for every deployment...

Thanks,

glenn

Glenn;

I don't know if this is the best way, but when I need to move a
webservice to another server I move all the content of the folder 'bin'
(dlls) and all the content of the folder of the project (parent of 'bin').
Specialy those with nomes *.ASMX.*, *.ASAX.* and *.CONFIG.

Just select your Web Project with your webservices in the solution
explorer and use Project->Copy Project item then it copies all needed
files (.dll's, .asmx, .aspx, content marked files, etc.) to a specific
folder. After that you can just copy this directory to the production
server and create virtual directory.

I appreciate the information but the server I am not that concerned about.
I am more interested in what files need to be changed and moved with the
client side as its the one that has the information on where to find the
server. Its obvious something has to change there... I just don't know
what...

Thanks,

When you initilized a WebService proxy instance you should changed its
Url (the default Url value of your proxy WebService class will be
pointed to your development server). As a storage for such settings I
recommend you to use OpenNETCF's ConfigurationSettings (Full Framework
analogue):
