Question

Friday, September 13, 2019 3:53 PM

I am working on a project where I need to interact with a SOAP web service - is this not possible in VS for Mac?  I can't find a way to add the web service reference nor can I find any documentation around this.  Seems like a huge miss if this isn't possible ....

 Hi tomkQl,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Did you create a asp net core web application in VS2019 for Mac?

VS2019 for Mac version does not have .Net Framework Web Application and only have a .Net Core web application for web development which does not have a web config file.

Soap Web Services or WCF was one of that feature that was missing in .Net Core from its earlier release. It was one of the most requested & searched features of .Net Core Framework. 

Now it is available and adding a soap service in Net Core web application is different from what in Net Framework web application.

l have found something for you and please follow this article which l hope it could help you:
