How do I avoid switching WCF endpoint when I deploy from localhost --> server?

Question

Right now I need to keep changing the line below. Is there a programmatic way to check if I am running the site locally vs. on production ?

The closest I got was this post but it seems to be referring to Silverlight and I am just calling from an asp.net site.

Silverlight application cannot accesss WCF services on other machines

<client>
  <endpoint address="http://www.punkoutersoftware.com/Service1.svc"
    binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService1"
    contract="ServiceReference1.IService1" name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" />
</client>

I ended up doing the really simple #DEBUG way... eventually Ill use web.config transformations.. almost the same — punkouter, Dec 28 '10 at 20:46

Is this for an ASP.NET application? If so, consider using VS2010's Web.config Transformation, which can alter your web.config based on your build type (Release, Debug, etc).

Here's a better introductory tutorial
