To consume a SOAP service from .NET core, adding connected service from the project UI does not work.

Option 1: Use dotnet-svcutil CLI. Prerequisite: VS 2017, Version 15.5 or above

1. Launch Developer Command Prompt VS 2017.

2. Go to app.csproj file and add below references:

3. Rebuild solution.

4. Change directory to your project location from VS command prompt.
5. run command: svcutil SOAP_URL?wsdl ; example: example.com/test/testing?wsdl This will generate reference files and output.config file in your project.
6. .Net Core does not have any app.config or web.config files, but the output.config file will serve the SOAP binding.

Option 2 In case you need to refer more than one SOAP sevice,

1. Create a new class library project, use .Net framework 4.5.1 .Net framework matters as i saw the reference files generated from contract is not correct if .Net Framework is latest.
2. Add service reference by right click on References.
3. Refer the class library project from your .Net core project.
