Consume WCF service with wsHttpBinding using web reference

Question

WCF service is running with wsHttpBinding. Is it possible to consume this service using web reference not service reference?

Thanks in advance

**No** - the "old" web reference *only* works with `basicHttpBinding` — marc_s, Feb 15 '18 at 17:06

web reference is the old-style, deprecated ASP.NET webservices (ASMX) technology (using only the XmlSerializer)

You cannot consume service exposed on wsHttpBinding with default configuration by old ASMX. Default configuration of wsHttpBinding uses advanced security and ASMX doesn't support it.

You must either add service reference / svcutil or change your binding to basicHttpBinding.
