Consuming WCF Services in ASP.NET Core
July 16, 2016 by Anuraj
ASP.NET Core WCF Service C# .Net
This post is about consuming WCF Services in ASP.NET Core. With the availability of .Net Core RC2 and ASP.NET Core RC2 Microsoft introduced an update to the WCF Connected Service Preview for ASP.NET 5 Visual Studio extension tool for generating SOAP service references for clients built on top of WCF for .NET Core RC2. To consume a WCF Service, first you need to install the WCF Connected Service extension, which can be downloaded and installed using Extensions and Updates feature from Tools. Or you can download it from Visual Studio Gallery. Please make sure youre installing the required prerequisites, otherwise it may not install successfully. Once installation completed successfully, you can create a new ASP.NET Project and consume the service. This tool retrieves metadata from a WCF service in the current solution, locally or on a network, and generates a .NET Core 1.0.0 compatible source code file for a WCF client proxy that you can use to access the service.

ASP.NET Core Nuget EF Entity Framework
This post is about reverse engineering model classes from existing database using Entity Framework Core. This is useful in Database First scenarios than the Code First scenario. In order to scaffold a DbContext from an existing database, you first have to set up project.json file. You need to add reference of Entity Framework tools in the project.json file tools section. For this post I am generating DbContext and model classes from Sqlite Database. So I am using EF Sqlite references as well.

Using PostgreSQL with ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core PostgreSQL EF Migration
This post is about using PostgreSQL with ASP.NET Core. PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) with an emphasis on extensibility and standards-compliance. Recently in ASP.NET Forums, someone asking about using postgresql with ASP.NET Core. Since I don’t have an installed version available, I thought I will use postgresql as a service version from elephantsql.com. They are offering a free tier postgresql database. You can register yourself and can create databases. In this post I am using EF Migrations for creating databases. So I am using a ASP.NET Core Web API project, I have created a API project with ASP.NET YO Generator. To connect to postgresql server, you require “Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL” nuget package, and for EF migrations you require “Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools” package. Here is the project.json file.
