Web Service and SSL

[Peter Sedman]

I have written a Web Service that is called by a Windows Forms Client that I
have also written.

Some of our customers want to run with SSL and some don't. The Windows
Forms client configuration file has an entry for the URL of the Web Service.
Assuming that our customers have trusted certificates is it just a matter of
changing the URL in the configuration file from http to https ?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

To use Https in client, we need a dynamic web reference and change its Url
in code, you may refer to following article to see if it will help:
