How can I disable the simplified configuration of WCF services with .Net 4.x?
I really wand to disable it, and not just override some bindings or endpoints!

I have an existing app under .Net framework 4.6.2. The app includes a WCF client and a server, both hosted in IIS. Now I am planning to port the app to .Net Core and the first challenge I am facing is to figure out how to port my WCF configurations. We have endpoints and bindings configured in the <system.serviceModel> section of the web.config files on both client and server side. For instance, here is part of our server side config:
And here is the client side
Now under .Net Core, the <system.serviceModel> doesn't seem to be supported any more. If so, where does it moved to? What's the best approach of converting them?
You want to migrate wcf from .net framework to .net core. This is impossible because many libraries are used and they do not support .net core.But you can realize the function of wcf through other methods on .net core, you can refer to What replaces WCF in .Net Core?.
We are in the process of creating a new WCF web service (WCF service that has an basicHttpBinding Endpoint) to carry out some of our business logic.
The web application connects not problem at all, however our legacy Compact framework application doesn't seem to see the service at all.
Are we on to a loser here and should we just revert to ASMX web service (the Compact framework cannot be upgraded) or is there a way around this?
Yes you can but you need to treat it as a soap service not a WCF service with all the .net 3.5 goodness. Start up your web service and create web service reference in your .net 2.0 CF and use the auto generated code.
How can we consume WCF service in .Net 2.0 Winform. Please note that we don't have IIS on the client. an example or a sample would be great.
It all depends on how your WCF endpoints are configured.
If you're using SOAP based WCF Services over HTTP, you should be able to simply add a Service Reference from your .NET 2.0 WinForms application and be on your way (which is what I would suggest doing).
If that's not the case, you'll have to provide a little more detail about what you're trying to do with your WCF Services.
You can host your WCF service in a Windows Service as per this article. In that case, it will listen on the HTTP protocol on any port you configure.
I am going to have to interoperate with some WCF classes from an ASP.NET 2.0 web application. What tools exist that I can use to generate a proxy class that is compatible with classic XML Web Services? AFAIK, the WCF endpoints are using the basic HTTPS binding.
Thanks,

WCF was introduced in .net 3.0, so you cannot use WCF from .net 2.0.
However a WCF service with basichttpbinding will work in the same way as a classic xml web service.
I am facing a problem.
Please explain if this is possible or not.
1) I created a Service Library (.Net 3.5)
2) I created a Windows Service (.Net 3.5), added ServiceHost and implemented my ServiceLibrary to work as a TCP Endpoint.
3) Next I created a Console Client (.Net 3.5) and tried to get data from my TCP Endpoint…(svcutil….proxy.cs generation). Worked absolutely fine.
4) I have a Windows Client(.Net 1.1). How do I configure it to use this new Service? I can't add Proxy.cs as it says that servicemodel cannot be found…
You will need to use a basicHttpBinding, which is backward compatible and can be consumed by a .net 1.1 client. You should be able to find plenty of useful examples on the web: Consuming WCF with .Net 1.1 Basic Binding. For example, this Link describes that binding and usage of Soap 1.1 to make it compatible with .Net 1.1.
For more details on different scenarios and the range of wcf configuration possibilities, try exploring this CodePlex Link, specifically the Application Scenarios section that provides details of different setups. I believe that you will require a basicHttpBinding rather than a netTcpBinding in order to work with legacy protocols. The netTCPBinding would assume that you have .NET 3.0 at both ends. See this MSDN Bindings Link.
