I need to be able to read the URL from a database. Different windows forms
client apps will use the exact same web service, but on different servers.
So when my app loads, I need to read the URL before I make the first method
call on the web service. When I use the following code:

Dim myService As New myService.webService

myService.Url = http://myserver.mywebservice.net/

myservice.MethodCall1

I get the error "the request failed with http status 405" when I make my
first method call.

I have seen a ton of responses such as yours, but I have not a lot of people
successfully pull this one off. And I have set the URL Behavior to dynamic.
It seems like more things need to be set here. If I have to look into the
app.config file, that is fine, but I really want to set this dynamically
from a database.
