Hi,
I have a website which makes use of various web services. It all works fine.
My problem is when deploying the site from Dev to Test to Live.
I have to publish the websites, otherwise the web services are not recognised. I usually have a web.config file which has the location of the web services URLs stored in them. However, for some web services, this is just not making any difference - for others (another companies) it works fine to change this.
So, currently, I am having to remove my dev web references, add in my live web references & publish the site. Then I need to remove the live web references and replace them with my dev references in order to continue developing the site. Surely that shouldn't be the way things work!
Am I missing something, or am I stuck with this terrible method?
The web services are just normal .asmx files in a 2008 project (2005 recently converted to 2008). The problem ...

Go to the complete details ...
