Consume WCF service in Xamarin Forms - wcf

Question

I can integrate the WCF service in xamarin with .net framework class library file.
WCF - Developed in .net Framework 4.5
Xamarin - Developing in .net Core 2.2
Here I am unable to consume the WCF service created with .net framework. But I can consume the service where I as created the Asp.Net project with same .net framework version.
What need to do to consume it in xamarin

Hi Colin / Jason / Hakim.....
there is no issue while consuming the WCF with ASP.net which was created both in the same framework. But unable to consume in Xamarin... Below is the code...
public class Class1
{
public UserInfo GetUser(string username, string password)
{
WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
TimeSpan span = new TimeSpan(0, 3, 0);
binding.Name = "WSHttpBinding_IService";
binding.CloseTimeout = span;
binding.OpenTimeout = span;
binding.ReceiveTimeout = span;
binding.SendTimeout = span;
binding.AllowCookies = false;
binding.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
binding.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard;
// binding.MaxBufferSize = 65536;
binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = 524288;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 65536;
binding.MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Text;
binding.TextEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
//binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.Buffered;
binding.UseDefaultWebProxy = true;
binding.ReaderQuotas = new XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas();
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxDepth = 32;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = 8192;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = 16384;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxBytesPerRead = 4096;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxNameTableCharCount = 16384;
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Transport.ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Transport.Realm = string.Empty;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.UserName;
binding.Security.Message.AlgorithmSuite = SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Default;
ICFService.ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient(binding, new EndpointAddress("..../Service.svc"));
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = username;
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;
return client.CheckUser(new UserRQ() { UserName = username, Password = password });
}
}
Xamarin Button click
try
{
APIServiceLibrary.Class1 api = new APIServiceLibrary.Class1();
var user = api.GetUser(Entry_Username.Text, Entry_Password.Text);
if (user != null)
{
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
