I have the framework version of WCF server code. When I was trying to migrate with CoreWcf, getting the below errors.

  1. The type or namespace name 'ChannelListenerBase<>' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
  2. error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'IReplyChannel' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) -- I could fin the IInputChannel in new corewcf but still not fulfilling the existing functionality.

Can someone please help me?

    Regarding the first error message, the ChannelListenerBase<> class is not available in CoreWCF as it is in WCF. Instead, you can use the ServiceHostBase class as a replacement. This class provides a base implementation for hosting a WCF service. You can create your own custom host by deriving from this class and overriding its members.

    Regarding the second error message, the IReplyChannel interface is also not available in CoreWCF. However, the IRequestChannel interface is available, which can be used to handle both input and output messages. You can modify your code to use IRequestChannel instead of IReplyChannel.

    In addition to the above changes, you may need to update some other parts of your code to be compatible with CoreWCF. CoreWCF uses a different programming model and may require some modifications to the existing WCF code. You may want to refer to the CoreWCF documentation and samples to see how to properly migrate your WCF code to CoreWCF.

    I hope this helps!
