icreated WCF service. My project name is SERVICE_ABC. In solution i created Service_A.svc, Service_B.svc, Service_C.svc and PersonelDTO.cs. All service using PersonelDTO.cs. Her is the code
public interface IService_A
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork();
[OperationContract]
PersonelDTO GetMyData();
}
public interface IService_B
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork();
[OperationContract]
PersonelDTO GetMyData();
}
public interface IService_C
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork();
[OperationContract]
PersonelDTO GetMyData();
}
I read service WEB_ABC .net solution. In the HomeController.cs i have got Deneme() controller. how can i use PersonelDTO without ServiceReference_A service reference name
public string Deneme()
{
Service_AClient clientA = new Service_AClient();
Service_BClient clientB = new Service_BClient();
Service_CClient clientC = new Service_CClient();
/*Below these codes working properly
var DataA = clientA.GetMyData();
ServiceReference_B.PersonelDTO DataB = clientB.GetMyData();
ServiceReference_C.PersonelDTO DataC = clientC.GetMyData();
*/
//I want to use PersonelDTO without using ServiceReference_A service reference name
PersonelDTO DataA = clientA.GetMyData();
PersonelDTO DataB = clientB.GetMyData();
PersonelDTO DataC = clientC.GetMyData();
If you are talking about the only way you can use the DTO is through a service reference, then you need to make a classlib project named Entities. In Entities, you will put all of the DTO classes. All projects that need to use the DTO(s) will have project
reference to Entities and know what the DTO(s) are about. In this way, you can instance a DTO as
new without needing the service reference to the DTO.
And IMO, you don't reference the service in the controller and make calls to the service from the controller.
An MVC model contains all of your application logic that is not contained in a view or a controller. The model should contain all of your application business logic, validation logic, and database access logic.
<end>
An example and DTO(s) are being used too sending them through the tiers of the ntier solution that has WCF on the backend, which has the WebAPI sitting in front of the WCF service. The WebAPI using Json is to accommodate the client-side of a Web MVC solution
with the browsers and using JavaScript.

As I stated in my first post, you must implement a WCF channel factory to shared DTO objects between WCF and MVC. Otherwise you must convert the service reference proxy back to the DTO on the MVC side.
I place the WCF interface and data contracts in a separate project that is shared by the WCF service and consumer project.
You might want to look into Web API as Web API is much easier to use.
i dont understand this code. İ share what i want to do
I gave it to you on what to do. Your DTO(s) are defined in the WCF service and are tightly coupled to the WCF service. You need to remove them out of the WCF service project placing them into an independent classlib project, and you set reference to the
independent classlib project. The MVC project and the WCF service project set project reference to the Entities project where the DTO(s) are kept.
You see the using statement being used in Model object Entities.

You CANNOT assign the service reference types to shared types. They are two different types. You must either build a factory that converts the service reference type to the shared type on the client. Or use the channel factory to communicate with the
service and do NOT use a service reference.
thanks i add my DTO class to classlib. Its ok but my WEB is created different solution. I send you
There is nothing stopping from copying the DLL for the classlib project copying it to the Bin folder of the Web project and setting reference to the DLL that has the DTO.

The issue is not how to create a project reference. The issue is the OP is trying to assign a proxy type to a shared type as shown in the screenshot.

Sharing data contracts between wcf services without use ServiceReference name
Jan 30, 2018 06:58 AM|renegadecommendant|LINK
Hi
icreated WCF service. My project name is SERVICE_ABC. In solution i created Service_A.svc, Service_B.svc, Service_C.svc and PersonelDTO.cs. All service using PersonelDTO.cs. Her is the code
public interface IService_A
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork();
[OperationContract]
PersonelDTO GetMyData();
}
public interface IService_B
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork();
[OperationContract]
PersonelDTO GetMyData();
}
public interface IService_C
{
[OperationContract]
void DoWork();
[OperationContract]
PersonelDTO GetMyData();
}
I read service WEB_ABC .net solution. In the HomeController.cs i have got Deneme() controller. how can i use PersonelDTO without ServiceReference_A service reference name
public string Deneme()
{
Service_AClient clientA = new Service_AClient();
Service_BClient clientB = new Service_BClient();
Service_CClient clientC = new Service_CClient();
/*Below these codes working properly
var DataA = clientA.GetMyData();
ServiceReference_B.PersonelDTO DataB = clientB.GetMyData();
ServiceReference_C.PersonelDTO DataC = clientC.GetMyData();
*/
//I want to use PersonelDTO without using ServiceReference_A service reference name
PersonelDTO DataA = clientA.GetMyData();
PersonelDTO DataB = clientB.GetMyData();
PersonelDTO DataC = clientC.GetMyData();
return "Ok";
}
Thanks. You can download project this link

You are asking how to connect to WCF without a service reference? If so, you can use the WCF channel factory.
