WCF: modifying baseAddress during setup or at the runtime

I have the win-service that hosts the WCF-service. The Win-service is running on computer "MyComp1". The WCF-service App.config looks like:

      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/MyService" />
      </baseAddresses>

When I'm trying to import WSDL from that service (for example using Delphi WSDLImp.exe) I'm getting errors like "Couldn't import http://localhost:8732/MyService?xsd=xsd0" And it is right behavior cause the service isn't running on localhost. But locations of XSDs in generated WSDL contain localhost-like addresses.

Now I want to modify baseAddress during setup or at the runtime because I don't want users to manually edit App.config. I've heard about FlatWSDL but are there any other techniques to do this?

You can use the System.Xml.XmlDocument to programatically change your App.config file.

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

xmlDoc.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile);

xmlDoc.SelectNodes("/configuration/system.serviceModel/services/service/host/baseAddresses/add")
    .Cast<XmlNode>().ToList()
    .ForEach(o => o.Attributes["baseAddress"].Value = "http://localhost:8732/MyService");

xmlDoc.Save(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile);

Just make sure to use the correct XPath expression of your base address. Hope this helps.
