I have a problem changing a dynamic web reference in the config file. Changing the url in the config file doesn't have any effect. I have to change the url in .settings and compile for it to change.

I added the web reference using the wizard. Set the URL behavior to dynamic, which added the relevant XML tags in config file.

In my solution I have the web API (web reference) in a separate project (class lib), so I referenced the project and copied the <applicationSettings> over.

<applicationSettings>
    <StartupProject.Properties.Settings>
      <setting name="WebReference" serializeAs="String">
        <value>http://someurl/somefile.asmx</value>
      </setting>
    </StartupProject.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>

Note that it's <StartupProject.Properties.Settings> and not <WebRefProject.Properties.Settings>.

Are there some limitations I'm not aware of or am I doing something wrong?
