title: How to add WCF Service to .NET Core project in Visual Studio 2019?
body: <p>I am unable to add a connected service reference to a WCF endpoint in VS 2019. I used to be able to do it in VS2017 with an extension.  Now I can't find the extension anywhere, and when I try to add a connected service, I get lots of options but nothing for a WCF service.</p>
  <p>Just to clarify, I am not trying to develop a WCF service, just trying to create a service reference to act as a client to a remote WCF service.</p>
  <p>There is an article on how to use such a tool, <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/wcf-web-service-reference-guide" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but absolutely no information on where to find the tool or how to install it.  I even found what may be the <a href="https://github.com/dotnet/wcf/blob/main/release-notes/WCF-Web-Service-Reference-notes.md" rel="nofollow noreferrer">source code</a> for the tool, but again with no installation instructions.</p>
  <p>My project is a .NET Core project, targeting NetStandard 1.6.</p>
