    text
    copied!<p>I want to override client WCF endpoint addresses stored in app.config so that I can change them from pointing to "localhost" to pointing to production URLs [depending on configuration that can be set from within the App (contained in an object 'appConfig' in the code shown below) - which is a WinForms project.]</p> <p>By reading other questions in this area I have reached the following pieces of code (InitAllEndpoints which calls into InitEndpoint) which I call from the Form_Load event. I tried these in my application and they appear to change the EndPoint addresses if I hover over the value in the "ep" variable. Yet if I loop again through serviceModelSectionGroup.Client.Endpoints after my code I find they are infact unchanged. (I now read that EndPoint addresses are immutable - so my code looks wrong anyway as I'd expect to overwrite the address with a new EndPoint address object - rather than a Uri?)</p> <p>How do I can I programmatically override client app.config WCF endpoint addresses? </p> <pre><code>private void InitAllEndpoints() { ServiceModelSectionGroup serviceModelSectionGroup = ServiceModelSectionGroup.GetSectionGroup( ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( ConfigurationUserLevel.None)); if (serviceModelSectionGroup != null) { foreach (ChannelEndpointElement ep in serviceModelSectionGroup.Client.Endpoints) { InitEndpoint(ep, appConfig.ExternalComms_scheme, appConfig.ExternalComms_host, appConfig.ExternalComms_port); } } } private void InitEndpoint(ChannelEndpointElement endPoint, string scheme, String host, String port) { string portPartOfUri = String.Empty; if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(port)) { portPartOfUri = ":" + port; } string wcfBaseUri = string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", scheme, host, portPartOfUri); endPoint.Address = new Uri(wcfBaseUri + endPoint.Address.LocalPath); } </code></pre> <p>Note: My proxies lives in a separate project/DLL.</p> <p>e.g.</p> <pre><code>public class JournalProxy : ClientBase&lt;IJournal&gt;, IJournal { public string StoreJournal(JournalInformation journalToStore) { return Channel.StoreJournal(journalToStore); } } </code></pre>
