.NET Core 2.2 : How to use WSDL for WCF reference

Question

I have an old (seems) ASMX service and need to use it for .NET Core 2.2. First at all, when I try to add it as WCF service I got an error when I try to use:

InvalidOperationException: The top XML element 'data' from namespace '' references distinct types ServiceReference1.WSIssueNewPayrollCardData and ServiceReference1.WSIssueNewPersonalizedPayrollCardData. Use XML attributes to specify another XML name or namespace for the element or types.
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.ReconcileAccessor(Accessor accessor, NameTable accessors)

InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting 'data'.
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.ImportMembersMapping(XmlReflectionMember[] xmlReflectionMembers, string ns, bool hasWrapperElement, bool rpc, bool openModel, RecursionLimiter limiter)

ok, go to definition of WSIssueNewPayrollCardData and add namespace for every public property, which already has the same name:

[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("dotnet-svcutil", "1.0.0.1")]
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://com.tch.cards.service/types")]
public partial class WSIssueNewPayrollCardData
{

    private string shipToFirstField;

    private string shipToLastField;

    /// <remarks/>
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, Order=0, Namespace = "http://com.tch.cards.service/types/WSIssueNewPayrollCardData")]
    public string shipToFirst
    {
        get
        {
            return this.shipToFirstField;
        }
        set
        {
            this.shipToFirstField = value;
        }
    }

    /// <remarks/>
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, Order=1, Namespace = "http://com.tch.cards.service/types/WSIssueNewPayrollCardData")]
    public string shipToLast
    {
        get
        {
            return this.shipToLastField;
        }
        set
        {
            this.shipToLastField = value;
        }
    }

    /// <remarks/>

}

then start it. But I face to face with another problem:

InvalidOperationException: The Form property may not be 'Unqualified' when an explicit Namespace property is present. System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.CheckForm(XmlSchemaForm form, bool isQualified)

InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting property 'shipToFirst'. System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.InitializeStructMembers(StructMapping mapping, StructModel model, bool openModel, string typeName, RecursionLimiter limiter)

InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting type 'ServiceReference1.WSIssueNewPayrollCardData'. System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.ImportTypeMapping(TypeModel model, string ns, ImportContext context, string dataType, XmlAttributes a, bool repeats, bool openModel, RecursionLimiter limiter)

InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting 'data'. System.Xml.Serialization.XmlReflectionImporter.ImportMembersMapping(XmlReflectionMember[] xmlReflectionMembers, string ns, bool hasWrapperElement, bool rpc, bool openModel, RecursionLimiter limiter)

what is wrong, how to use it correctly?

From the description, there may be some problems with serialization and deserialization between the client and the server, which caused by the namespace of the class. I think we should add the xml namespace property to these class on server side manually. — Abraham Qian

I'va also tried to add a SOAP Endpoint to a .NET CORE SOLUTION .. and it never work .. I've read somewhere that .NET CORE DOESN't SUPPORT WCF by a specific idea behind .NET CORE FRAMEWORK ...

I 've resolved by add an .NET STANDARD external project (as DLL) to my API Project and in that I' ve reference it ...

[ [

I don't know id there are better solution .. i hope so ..

Hope it helps you!!!
