Consuming a WCF service in .NET Core 2.0

Question

I have a WSDL service which worked fine (and is still working in .net 4.x) and fairly newcomer to .NET Core 2.0.

I created the WSDL web service reference (The same steps followed as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/wcf-web-service-reference-guide)

My question is how to consume this service? Do someone know of a good tutorial? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

My question is how to consume this service?

The WCF Web Service Reference Provider Tool creates everything you need.

The client is automatically created with all the end-points in the service and any associated classes such as service parameters.

During the WCF Web Service Reference Provider Tool wizard you specify a namespace for the client, so if you entered CompanyName.Service you'd be able to create the client by typing var client = new CompanyName.Service.ClientName();

Please note that the name ClientName will be generated by the tool, and intelli-sense will you give you the actual name.

Once you have the client you can call any method on the service in the normal way. Such as:

var response = client.CancelPolicyAsync(cancelRequest);
