We are starting a new application and I have been kicking the tires on ASP.NET 5 trying to get used to all of the new features. So far everything looks really good, but I have encountered a road block that I cannot seem to get beyond. I never dreamed this would be that difficult. The web application we are going to develop is new but most of the back end services are not. They are old SOAP services created with WCF. As everyone knows, in the past this was as simple as having the url to the service and clicking "Add Service Reference" and you're done. I am not really surprised that this has changed, but I didn't think support for this situation wouldn't be there. In any case, I cannot seem to figure this out.
I have seen a few old posts about this subject, but none of them have helped. I also saw a promising tool called "WCF Connected Service Visual Studio Extension Preview for ASP.NET 5 Projects", but it wouldn't install for me in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. Ultimately, our app will be hosted in IIS and have access to the full .net framework if that makes a difference. It would be a shame if I couldn't use these great new features because this is either not possible or too time consuming to implement by hand.
TIA, Greg
