title: web service references
body: <p>I have an solution, that has many projects within it.  Three of the projects that reside within the main solution have web service calls within them.  These web service projects (.dlls) go out, grab some data, and return (normal operation).  They then process the data, and present it to the main application (another project within the solution).</p>
  
  <p>Each project has its own app.config file that sets the references to the locations of the exposed web services, and the references are set to dynamic.</p>
  
  <p>I do not distribute the .config files for the projects, only the main project within the solution.</p>
  
  <p>My question, after long description is this....</p>
  
  <p>Can the other projects see and use the app.config of the main application?</p>
  
  <p>What i would like to do is use a single app.config, and have ALL the projects reference that ONE app.config file to get the locations of the exposed web services.</p>
  
  <p>Can this be accomplished?</p>
  
  <p>Side question....  if i do not distribute the app.config dlls for the other projects in the solution, how do they know know the location of the exposed web services?</p>
  
  <p>Third side question - if i distribute the other projects app.config with the solution, will the projects reference the attached app.config dll, or will they ignore it, and use the hard coded (at build time)  references?</p>
  
  <p>thank you</p>
