Yassir,

The precise details of how you call a specific WCF service will depend on the service. For instance, is it a SOAP service, or a REST service? JSON or Plain XML.

The good news is that if your WCF service is exactly the same as your ASMX service, then you can call it in exactly the same way.

The bad news is that, if your WCF service is different, then calling it will be different.
