Adding wsdl web reference in asp .Net Core project

Question

I've got web service http://www.mcommunicator.ru/m2m/m2m_api.asmx?WSDL And I've got a problem with connecting to it from Visual Studio 2015 in my Web API project

There is no "Add web reference" anymore I've tried to add is with: References-> Add connected Service -> WCF Service - Preview It finds 1 web service by my address, but I get an error when click finish. I guess it's not a WCF service, that's why I get an error. But I don't see any other ways to add it. Please, help me.

You may be better off using a SOAP client, there's probably plenty on Nuget. — DavidG

I would rather work the old way, if it's possible. It was really convinient for me. Most of these packages have examples for mvc 4 not even 5 and i'm not 100% sure they will work with .net core. But I will try some, thanks for advise. — el_konor

take a look at Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider Tool (it's now part of the Visual Studio) — Søren

To add the SOAP service references for clients built on top of WCF for .NET Core 1.0 install the extension Visual studio WCF Connected Service via the “Extensions and Updates” dialog box.

After installed, In Solution Explorer, right-click on the References project item and then click on the Add Connected Service option.

The Add Connected Service dialog box appears and you should have a new option "WCF Service - Preview".
