Hi @Garlapati Sai Ram Suman ,
In the case that the service information such as interface and address is unchanged, no matter how the server changes the implementation of the service,
it can dynamically invoke the service through the channel factory(Core 1.0, Core 1.1). It does not affect the client's calls.

You can also try using System.Net and SOAP to dynamically call a Web service
You can use HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse in the System.Net namespace to build dynamic client-invoked Web services.

You can also try using the WCF dotnet-svcutil tool for .NET Core.
dotnet-svcutil tool is a .NET tool that retrieves metadata from a web service on a network location or from a WSDL file, and generates a WCF class containing client proxy methods that access the web service operations.
