How to tell where a Service Reference was generated from?

My Visual Studio 2010 project has a Service Reference defined. I can right click it to update the reference... but I have no idea what URL the reference was defined on, nor can I find a place to find this info to know how it is going to update.

From Visual Studio follow these steps -

  1. Right click Service and on context menu select Configure Service Reference
  2. Service Reference Popup will show up.
  3. Client > Address field will have URL to service reference.

Within the Service References\yourServiceName folder, there is a file called Reference.svcmap. If you open this with a text editor, its an XML file and the following XML node should give you that information 

<MetadataSources>
    <MetadataSource Address="http://something/something" 
                                 Protocol="http" SourceId="1" />
</MetadataSources>

When you right-click the service reference, there should be a "Configure Service Reference" option. Selecting this will show you the URL.

Its in the Settings file under properties folder in your project. Update service reference doesn't always work sometimes you just need to recreate the reference.
