NAnt (for those of you who don’t know) is the .NET version of Ant. It’s very similar to Ant, but has some nice extensions, like xmlpoke<\/a>, which replaces text in an XML file at the location specified by an XPath expression. I’ve used xmlpoke a couple different times, usually to meddle with web.config but today I ran into an issue where I need to change a .cs file, which I’m sure raises a red flag for alot of you. But Microsoft left me know choice. See, in order to create a WSE<\/a> compliant webservice client, you’re supposed to simply: <\/p>\n

add a reference to Microsoft.Web.Services2 to your assembly…[and then]… change the base class from SoapHttpClientProtocol<\/a> to the WebServicesClientProtocol<\/a> class from the Microsoft.Web.Services2 namespace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Now that would be all fine and dandy if I used $isualStudio to create my webservices, but I’d rather use Eclipse<\/a> and NAnt. So NAnt has this great task called a <script><\/a> which allows you to plug in any C# code you want and make a task out of it. So here’s a task I made called filepoke:
\n
\n<script language=\"C#\">
\n<code>
\n  <![CDATA[
\n    [TaskName(\"filepoke\")]
\n    public class FilePoke : Task {
\n      private string _file;
\n      private string _target;
\n      private string _value;
\n      [TaskAttribute(\"file\", Required=true)]
\n      public string TargetFile {
\n          get { return _file; }
\n          set { _file = value; }
\n      }
\n      [TaskAttribute(\"target\", Required=true)]
\n      public string Target {
\n          get { return _target; }
\n          set { _target = value; }
\n      }
\n      [TaskAttribute(\"value\", Required=true)]
\n      public string Value {
\n          get { return _value; }
\n          set { _value = value; }
\n      }
\n      protected override void ExecuteTask() {
\n        string path = _file;
\n        StringBuilder filecontents = new StringBuilder();
\n        using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(path)) {
\n          string s = \"\";
\n           while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null) {
\n              filecontents.Append(s.Replace(_target, _value) + \"\\n\");
\n          }
\n      }
\n      using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(path)) {
\n        sw.Write(filecontents.ToString());
\n      }
\n      }
\n    }
\n  ]]>
\n<\/code>
\n<\/script>
\n<\/code>
\nwhich you can use (like I did) while looping over all the generated proxy .cs files to replace all instances of x with y:
\n
\n<filepoke file=\"${filename}\" target=\"System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol\" value=\"Microsoft.Web.Services2.WebServicesClientProtocol\" \/>
\n<\/code>
\nSeems like it would make way more sense for the wsdl.exe<\/a> tool to give you the option of overriding the base class of the generated proxy, but this’ll get’er done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
