Getting Started with ECGridOS and Visual Studio SOAP Connections
For .Net Core and .NET 5+ Apps please follow the steps for using the SrvUtil.exe from the docs.microsoft.com page or get the ServiceModel and Client from the Code Examples folder for a starting point. These frameworks do not automatically import in the class and calls from the WSDL and need to be built and developed within your code. The code examples provided are for reference only and intended to be used as a starting point and example of how you can build the SOAP service yourself. Please follow your companies policies and practices for software development. Set your own values for HTTP Bindings and don't store you passwords/secrets in plain text directly in the code.
