WCF dotnet-svcutil tool

The WCF dotnet-svcutil tool is a .NET Core CLI tool that retrieves metadata from a web service on a network location or from a WSDL file, and generates a WCF class containing client proxy methods that you can use to access the web service operations. A preview dotnet-svcutil tool was released recently, which can run across Windows, Linux and macOS platforms.

WCF Web Service Reference Provider

The WCF Web Service Reference Provider is a Visual Studio connected service extension that retrieves metadata from a web service in the current solution, on a network location, or from a WSDL file, and generates a .NET Core compatible source file containing Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) client proxy code that can be used to access the web service. This tool was first integrated into Visual Studio 2017 v15.5.

Known Issues

Please see this known issue list.
Note, the enhancement for UWP will be in a separate release. The UWP support in this release is the same as the support in 2.0 release.
