    Hello, I am using SOAP method to get a list of tours from a web service in the internet. The pictures in the tourlist do not show up because of LOCALHOST definition in their source. How can I set LOCALHOST in web config to use web services root address. Thank you!

    What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

      You can't. There is no setting in the web.config file that will convert the address in the data you receive. Do you know any developers who can help you with this?

        I was expecting a solution rather than a judgment. :(

          Once you get the data back, why not just do a string replace LOCALHOST -> real host name? The issue isn't on your side, the web service isn't implemented properly. A web service should *NEVER* be returning LOCALHOST in URLs. You just need to work around the web service bug with the string replace.

                You are not a developer but he was because of his answer (it doesn't matter if he is a beginner or advanced one). His solution worked out and will also work when upload my web service on any server. A developer mean is not God of coding? Are you?

                        We were actually not translating something but your behavior... I didn't ask you if he was a developer. I was looking for a solution and he provided me so. So don't give up! keep coding your own behavior.

                          Yes, you asked "How can I set LOCALHOST in web config..." To which my replay was, "You can't. There is no setting in the web.config file..." How is that not a solution? Must have gotten lost in the translation, or perhaps I didn't use enough toothpaste :laugh:

                            Mark, I'm surprised by this response. The last bit is unusually unkind of you; you're always very helpful, in my experience. Are you having a bad day? Yes, the question implied a solution approach that won't work, but we are not all professionals here, with years of experience to draw from, and sometimes we get lost on a wrong track because of it. Your answer was initially excellent, but it wouldn't have taken a lot of effort for an expert like you to suggest another approach. I hope you have a better day tomorrow, and thank you for the help you've given me, a perpetual tyro, over the years... :)

                              Is this a common expression? I wonder how many people know what "tyro" means outside of the military and (possibly) civil aviation.

                                Well, I'm not military and I know what a tyro is; and I didn't need to look it up either.

                                  I had to look it up. Is that some British word? I'd never heard it used in the US before, but then again, I'm not in the military.

                                    I had the benefit of studying Latin at school, which helps. And no - it was a dead language when I studied it, I'm not that old.

                                      As far as I've heard, I'm the only one among my vast collection of friends and acquaintances who has used it in a sentence, but they all understood what I said. :) I learned the word as a child, and don't recall where; I wasn't aware of any connection to the military.

                                      Will Rogers never met me.
