Does anybody know how to dynamically invoke WCF service using existing wsdl file? Thus, I don't need to use "Add Service Reference...". Everything should be done dynamically.
I've searched the internet and haven't found anything that is similar to:
EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:3929/Service1.svc?wsdl");
I use VS2008 (.NET 3.5).
Thank you in advance.

If you take a look at the Channel Factory this should be what you need.

I want to consume a WCF service in my .NET Core application without adding service reference?
I am able to consume WCF by installing WCF connected service and adding service reference but I don't want to add any service reference.
Please refer to the follow link. It has some minors issues, but is easy to fix.
Calling Web Method Without a Service Reference
if you are using wcf service then you can expose it as a restful service. then you can simply consume it. actully i have been use it for many years and its been really useful.
here you can read more about that: REST / SOAP endpoints for a WCF service
you can create a service proxy using svcutil.exe and use the proxy class as a reference.
here is a sample:
SvcUtil.exe http://www.temperatureservice.com:8080/TemperatureService.svc /ser:DataContractSerializer /s /language:cs /out:TemperatureServiceProxy.cs /n:*,WCF.Client.Proxies.Proxy
It will generate TemperatureServiceProxy.cs file, include this file in your project and create a service client by referencing this file.
I have created wcf service and added its refernece into web application project.
Have added as below way: 1. generated proxy and config file using - svcutil command and added proxy file into web application project and merged configuraiton file.
Now, I have added some new methodsinto the wcf service , do i have to use - SVCUTIL command on each time or it should work automatically.... for now, i need to generate proxy file each time.. please suggest some best way.
NOTE: service instance available into ASP.NET web applicaiton (client) but unable to get when use client as - MVC applicatoion. please suggest.
Thanks
In the Web Application, open the Service References folder.
Right click on the Service you want to update.
Select Update.
Thanks for the response.
I found the answer, when add service reference (for MVC application) >>> click at 'Advance' button >>> uncheck the "reuse object....." option and then add it.
Then, service client reference is available and it works.
Just for KS, sharing you another design issue due to Add Service Reference option at below link:
What should keep into this design approach
Thank You
I am using VS2010 and .NET 4.0. When I create a WCF Service Application, I can easily get my service up and running. However, I am unable to find the services information such as binding configuration and address etc. Where does the template store this information so that I can modify. I know I can add my own bindings and address in the config but I want to know what is the default binding WCF template is using and modify accordingly.
I apologize for the simple (dumb) question, but in 3.5 it was in the config upon using the template
This is not something being done by the template. The application is simply using the default WCF configuration settings. See here for futher info.
I have an old WSDL file and I want to use WCF to communicate with the service.
The WSDL is generated from a ASMX (I suppose but I am not sure).
What would be the required steps to communicate with it ?
Right-click your project, and choose "Add Service Reference". Point to the WSDL. Click "Ok". That should be all.
Use svcutil.exe to create a WCF proxy to call the service. Details here.
wsdl.exe is the old web service (1.1) way of creating a proxy. The first thing to try is "Add Service Reference" as already mentioned. This uses svcutil.exe to create the proxy. If you need more control over how the proxy is created, you can use svcutil.exe from the command line with a variety of switches.
With that said... I have had trouble with older web service wsdls. In particular, an old Apache AXIS Web Service containing overloaded operations. Please see my post here for complete details. (My problem still isn't solved. I hope you don't encounter the same issues, but if you do and figure them out, please answer my question. :)
Has anyone done this? I've tried generating a c# proxy class and connecting through it, but I cannot figure out how to get IronPython to use the generated app.config file that defines the endpoint. It tries to connect, but I just get an error about no default endpoint. I would ideally like to make the connection using only IronPython code and not use the proxy class, if possible. The binding for the service I am trying to connect to is a NetTcpBinding if that makes any difference.
See my blog post. There are IronPython WCF service and client examples.
To use app.config, you probably must copy it to ipy.exe and rename it to ipy.exe.config but I have not tried it so I don't know whether it works or not.
Is your WCF service interface available in a shared assembly? If so, you could look at using the ChannelFactory to create your client proxy dynamically (instead of using the generated C# proxy). With that method you can supply all the details of the endpoint when you create the ChannelFactory and you won't require any configuration in your .config file.
