WCF generation incorrect

It seems the WCF generation code is incomplete. It is creating X# code in Service.prg and
C# code in IService1.prg which leads to compile errors.
To replicate, Add WCF to project.
Service1.prg:
Code: Select all
using System
using System.Collections.Generic
using System.Runtime.Serialization
using System.ServiceModel
using System.Text
BEGIN NAMESPACE xSharpWinFormsApp1
CLASS Service1 IMPLEMENTS $contractName$
METHOD DoWork() as VOID STRICT
RETURN
END CLASS
END NAMESPACE
IService.prg has C# code:
Code: Select all
using System
using System.Collections.Generic
using System.Runtime.Serialization
using System.ServiceModel
using System.Text
namespace xSharpWinFormsApp1
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork()
}
}
Also to be able to call a WCF web service from a web application, a X# web application template must be available and which creates a Global.asx.prg to properly setup CORS properties.

Hi Jamal,
I think that in reality none of the templates or service references as provided in C# are really necessary. We've been working for years without this, simply coding the WCF channels directly in the client app (it's a few dozen lines of pretty generic code).
At the service end it's as you say, simply a matter of decorating the service methods with ServiceContract and OperationContract. That and a one line svc file and some declarations in web.config, then host in IIS.
I can share any (C#) code if it would be of help.

Hi Nick,
I have no issues doing this in C# as I've been for years publishing or consuming web services in various flavors.
The point here is X# WCF generation is incorrect; just helping in any way to report such issues to the dev team.

Oops!
Confirmed of course, thanks!

Ah ok... just thought it was giving you problems as well.

Hello Jamal,
A few years ago I created the code for X# mainly from Nick's Devshare C# notes; I had to solve quite a couple of problems with code where I hardly understand what it is supposed to do. The most difficult one was actually solved by Nick who checked what happened on the website where I wanted to exchange code with and I ended up with a reliable WCF interface with an X# client and a C# DLL on the website as server.
I am unaware of X# WCF code generation but if you need working code I can send you that.
