And porting .netframework472 application to .net6 application. and some wcf components/classes can be found in system.servicemodel.primitive.dll

but I couldn't find ServiceHost in any of nuget or dlls ..

Is there any way to get ServiceHost Class and its dependencies in .net6?

Hi @Akhil Fernandez

Is there any way to get ServiceHost Class and its dependencies in .net6?

You can't do it. From the ServiceHost Class, we can see this class is part of the System.ServiceModel namespace that is not supported by .NET Core, just applies to .Net Framework application.

While .net core has limited WCF support, and no additional planned, there is community project that has more features.
