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.

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"

From github: https://github.com/dotnet/wcf/issues/3139#issuecomment-417101129

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

Please upvote ;-)

That is currently not possible. The WCF app has to be a separate app.

Is this correct? In work we reference the ServiceModel namespace on Console Applications and create our WCF services that way, surely you'd be able to do the same in a Web App and write the ServiceHost in the apps entry point code.

Ah, perhaps you can do it if you use desktop clr

I'm just not sure if it can be done on .NET Core yet, unless the WebApp is a NET Framework app built on NET Core.

It will still not be the same webapp regardless if it's desktop or .net core. You might find a way to run it in the same process, but the base application model is different enough that you will have to run two separate http pipelines at best

ColinM Over a year ago

There's no question about that, it'll certainly be running off two separate endpoint configurations. What I meant was that I'm not sure if you can use the ServiceModel namespace, and spin up WCF services, in NET Core as of yet
