Hi,
I have a C# project with business logic layer (BLL DAL).
I want to connect the SQL database with WCF service instead of ASMX Web Method
Runnig the function's results from the DAL and BLL projects must be displayed in the browser.
I searched information about it but could find how to do WCF service instead of with ASMX.
( I didn't find any project to add with WCF only WPF!! )
Can anyone help me with how to implement WCF in the project ?

Keep in mind, WCF is also obsolete.

WCF is a service and does not have a display. As explained, with links, in your other thread; Web API is the latest service (REST) in the ASP.NET world. ASP.NET Core is the latest framework.
MVC or Razor Pages is designed for display.
I recommend going though a few Getting Started tutorials before moving forward.

API with ASP.NET Core -
first-web-apiI know the ASMX was very simple to display results in the chrome,
English isn't my native language, how will I check the results from the DB with web API with ASP.NET Core ? -

If you need a service level with contract like WCF, then it is recommend to use gRPC.

2021-07-29T16:05:52.597+00:00 I think I'll use the "ASP.NET Core 5.0 Web API" , a much better idea I'm sure,
So many methods to connect a database, it's very confusing, gRPC is very new to me. -

WCF is a runtime and a set of APIs for creating systems that send messages between services and clients.
So WCF is not used to present data and may not suit your needs.
