calling different servers

Hello,
I want to write a WCF client which each time calls a different url (or
server). I know by sure that all the urls which will be called implement the
same predefined wsdl (probably using WCF as well).
I am new to WCF, so I tried going over the basics, and created a WCF server
and client using the examples in msdn. Now, I want to change the auto
generated client code (auto generated by svcutil.exe) so that I will be able
to call each time a different URL and method (again, the list of possible
methods are predefined by a wsdl created using a C# interface).

Thank you!

Just merge client code received from svcutil for different services

I don't really understand what this means.
I do not know currently which urls I will call. They will be given to me
when the program is already running.

You are you currently using your services? If you are using a
ClientBase<T> derivative (where T is your service contract interface),
then note that one of the ctor overloads accepts the remote address.

I can't remember what svcutil spits out (for various reasons I use
ClientBase<T> directly), but this might help?

I have the following ctors:
public Service1Client()
{
}

public Service1Client(string endpointConfigurationName) :
base(endpointConfigurationName)
{
}

public Service1Client(string endpointConfigurationName, string
remoteAddress) :
base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress)
{
}

public Service1Client(string endpointConfigurationName,
System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress remoteAddress) :
base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress)
{
}

public Service1Client(System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding,
System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress remoteAddress) :
base(binding, remoteAddress)
{
}

As you can see, none of them accepts only the remote address. I need to add
a endpointConfigurationName or a Binding. I don't know which parameters I
should give there because I don't know what's an endpointConfigurationName or
how to create a Binding.

And besides, I already have a remote address and binding defined in the
config file. Wouldn't this be a problem when trying to give a different
remote address?

(string, string) is the one; have you tried "Default", the contract
name, and or any other random strings from the config file?

Don't have my code to hand, so can't check at mo - but will look
tomorrow.

Marc

Aah... remembered how I did it... ask WCF itself ;-p - specifically,
create an instance using the default ctor, and ask what end-point it
is using. Subsequently, I can link to any address by using this name
along with my bespoke URL.

static SimpleClient() {
try {
DefaultBindingName = new SimpleClient<T>.Endpoint.Name;
} catch {
DefaultBindingName = "Default";
}
}

Marc

I too am having this problem. Anyone know?

What have you tried? And are you using svcutil proxies or a custom
ClientBase<T> subclass?
You need to call the ctor that includes the remote address; I posted a
way to obtain the default binding name (so that you can use the simple
"string,string" ctor).

?
