Accepted answer
1)      A contract attribute in the endpoint element of a config file:
   <endpoint address="https://ie-services-configuration.ServiceProvider.com"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="customBinding_Configuration"   contract="MyCompany.MyProject.ServiceProvider_configuration_Ref.ConfigurationServicePortType"
      name="ConfigurationServiceHttpPort" />

2)       And ConfigurationName property of a ServiceContract attribute in a proxy code. It usually generated byAdd Service Reference wizard and placed in a hidden file the Reference.cs
