Vs 2017 wcf reference error

[fluppyBot]

Hi,

We have a project of asp.net core 2.0 trying to add a wcf service but was getting an error like this below

Would like to ask if there is possible solution for the said error? Tried to add the wcf service to asp.net mvc lower version and seems to be working fine.

Thanks,
Jordan

@fluppyBot Sorry to hear that you are running into an issue!

It looks like the service schema does not have any binding .NET Core currently support.

Could you clarify "add the wcf service to asp.net mvc lower version and seems to be working fine."? Specifically what version of asp.net mvc works?

Thanks,

Hi @hongdai ,

Regarding the schema not that sure because it was not created by us, in case is there a possible work around that we may try?

Tried it on asp.net mvc4 and it was successful on adding the service reference and I tried it as well on asp.net web forms. Currently using the vs 2017 community edition and the latest I believe version of the wcf reference provider.

Thanks and kind regards,
Jordan

Unfortunately there is not a workaround in the case of no supported bindings.

I do not think it could work on lower version of .Net Core projects.

By asp.net mvc4, is it full framework or .Net Core? The WCF tool you used was from Add Service Reference or Connected Service? Maybe it's easier if you could give me a screenshot or detailed steps which project template was used and how the WCF reference was added.

Thanks,

@fluppyBot My understanding is asp.net mvc4 is full framework. So you must have used "Add Service Reference". Could you share the generated proxy code and what's added to the app.config? It will help us identify the root cause.

Hi @hongdai ,

Tried adding it to asp.net mvc 4 web application via "add service reference"
below is the web config code that have been added

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IFrontDesk">
          <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential" />
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="https://services.phunkey.com/FrontDesk.svc"
        binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IFrontDesk"
        contract="ServiceReference1.IFrontDesk" name="BasicHttpBinding_IFrontDesk" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

Thanks and kind regards,
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
Unfortunately we cannot support TransportWithMessageCredential as it depends on the Message Security feature that is not yet supported in runtime. Please refer to 2.0 release notes:
Message level security is not supported (#3, #4, #8)

Hi @hongdai ,

Seems we will not be able to use asp.net core 2.0, but anyway thanks for the help and info. :)

Kind regards,
Jordan
