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,
Matthew
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've created a WCF Restful service(Framework 4.7.2) and hosted the service in IIS sever. I would like to add the service on a ASP.net core 3.1 Api. It does fails while adding it via connected service. The wcf service has endpoint with webhttpbinding.error
Any help would be appreciated..
Core does not support webhttpbinding, wcf only supports BasicHttpBinding, CustomBinding, NetHttpBinding, NetTcpBinding：
So there are two current solutions:
Modify the binding of the server, do not use webhttpbinding.
The client continues to use the .net framework.
Feel free to let me know if the problem persists.
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.
We have a WCF service exposing a basicHTTPBinding endpoint, but I need to consume it from a .NET 2.0 application.
We do have the WSDL files available.
Is there a way to use SVCUTIL to generate a web service reference which is compatible with .NET 2.0?
No you can't but you can use tool called wsdl.exe or Add Web Reference in Visual studio.
What WCF configuration settings makes WCF service, so that I can access as old ASMX web services? How can I authenticate using Authentication header what I used in Old ASMX web services?
Just use basicHttpBinding
Here is an example of the configuration:
