How to combine multiple WSDL proxies into one class in .net core?

I have a few WSDL files sharing the same set of classes/types behind with different service contracts. I would like to reuse the types across the service contract proxies. All the examples I find online are related to .net framework, not for .net core.

This documentation helps me to create a proxy for a single WSDL. Not for multiple. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/wcf-web-service-reference-guide

This is based upon @Ahuman answer. But more detailed.

Step 1: Create single wsdl files for each service from existing WCF services. For example if your Web service address is http://localhost:50286/EcomService.svc you can create your wsdl file form the http://localhost:50286/EcomService.svc?singleWsdl

Step2: Create a connected service reference using standard way by selecting one of the generated wsdl file. This will create a ConnectedService.json file under "Connected Services" -> "Your namespace name"

Step3: Edit the ConnectedService.json file and include additional wsdl files under "inputs".

  "ProviderId": "Microsoft.VisualStudio.ConnectedService.Wcf",
  "Version": "15.0.40203.910",
  "ExtendedData": {
    "inputs": [
      "../../wsdl/EcomService.wsdl",
      "../../wsdl/ProfileService.wsdl"
    ], ...

Disadvantage: Whenever there is a change in the WCF services, you have to manually generate the wsdl files at your ASP.NET Core project, before updating the Connected Service.

Here is the solution that worked for me. Follow the steps mentioned in this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/wcf-web-service-reference-guide.

This will generate ConnectedService.json file. Edit that file to include multiple WSDL files like below.

"ExtendedData": {
    "inputs": [
      "C:/Users/Bogus/Downloads/Bogus1.wsdl",
      "C:/Users/Bogus/Downloads/Bogus2.wsdl"
    ],
    "collectionTypes": [
      "System.Array",
      "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2"
    ],
    "namespaceMappings": [
      "*, Bogus.Namespace"
    ],

Once modified, update the service reference by right-clicking the target connected service.
