.NET Tips and Tricks -Add custom web services directories to Visual Studio

Add custom web services directories to Visual Studio

It is possible to customize a portion of the dialog that is launched when adding web references. The customizable portion is simply an HTML page. The default page contains links to Microsoft's UDDI Production and Test Web Services directories:

UDDI Directory

Query the UDDI Business Registry to find companies and production Web Services.

Test Microsoft UDDI Directory

Locate test Web Services to use during development.

Simply navigate to the Common7\Packages subdirectory where Visual Studio .NET is installed. From there, go to the appropriate [LCID] subdirectory, and find the HelpWatermark.htm file.

Example:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Packages\HelpWatermark.htm
