Add WCF service to ASP.NET Core MVC application

Question

We've got server-side application implemented in ASP.NET Core MVC 1.1.0 that serves web application. Everything works perfectly but we were requested to provide WCF service for third-party client app.

I know that we could put WCF between app's logic and MVC's api. However, it seems like significant amount of work since the application isn't the smallest one.

I wonder if it's possible to build WCF service beside MVC and host it as one application on iis.

Answer 1

Microsoft released an extension for visual studio which lets add service reference to asp.net core project. extension is called "Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider"

WCF service on .NET Core is not supported yet. The feature request is tracked by issue #2695.
