Dynamically Change WCF Service URL in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I have one solution in which I have 2 projects with:

ASP.NET MVC Application to consume wcf services.
5 WCF services.

I have added one web service reference in the project 1. Now, I need to use different services based on the user e.g.

User Type 1: Only allow to consume Service 1.
User Type 2: Only allow to consume Service 2. etc.

I have Service URL's like localhost:6227/Service1.svc, localhost:6227/Service2.svc etc.

I have stored all service URL's in the db and I need to change URL for each user type to consume his allowed service only without adding more end points and only change URL from the backend based on user type. I need relevant link or code to solve this problem.

Edit

In Web Config I have added just this endpoint in the mvc application and I don't want to use web config to change address in here but I want to change address in the code for each user type while application is running.

<client>
      <endpoint address="http://localhost:6227/Service1.svc"
        binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="CustomBinding_IService1"
        contract="Service1.IService1" name="CustomBinding_IService1" />
    </client>

if i completely realize your question you need dynamic soap service calling. maybe something like this:

private void CallService()
{
    var myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding();
    myBinding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.None;
    var myEndpointAddress = new EndpointAddress("your url depend on user type");
    var client = new ClientService1(myBinding, myEndpointAddress);
    var outpiut = client.someCall();
    client.close();
}

Not sure if I understand you correctly but you could use below snippet, if it suits.

//assuming you get string URL. Change type as per need.
string reqdURL = GetServiceURL(typeof(userObject));

private string GetServiceURL(Type userType)
{
    if (userType == typeof(UserType1))
    {
        // currently hardcoded but you can replace your own fetch logic
        return "localhost:6227/Service1.svc";
    }
    if (userType == typeof(UserType2))
    {
        return "localhost:6227/Service2.svc";
    }
    //and so on
}

and how to use this **reqdURL** to deliver user only data from this service? – Shahzad Jun 04 '17 at 07:33
What is the problem you're trying to solve? Change URL dynamically or change the data that comes out of the service (and not the URL)? – touchofevil Jun 04 '17 at 07:35
I need to **change the URL** to allowed him to consume only his service. – Shahzad Jun 04 '17 at 07:37
Can you edit your question and provide an example of what it is exactly you're looking for? To me it seemed like you're looking for switching services, which above snippet does. – touchofevil Jun 04 '17 at 07:41

You can modify directly your EndPoint Address doing this:

ClientService1 ws = new ClientService1();
ws.Endpoint.Address = new EndpointAddress("Your new URL svc service");
