WCF Service for adding Sharepoint users? - sharepoint

Currently we have an application that is written in .NET 3.5, which we are planning on upgrading to .NET 4.0.
Is it possible to create a WCF service that could make use of SharePoint 2010 API to create Sharepoint users by calling that service from .NET 4.0 application? What sort of issues do you think i may run in to if we upgrade, as Sharepoint 2010 works with .NET 3.5 and not 4.0?

Yes, you can use .Net 3.5 web service in your .Net 4 application .
You will have difficulties with DTO types, but if you use the properly serialized xml data then, should be no problem.

Connect to SharePoint online in .net core

Recently my application was converted from .net framework 4.6 application to .net core 2.0 app.
In the application I used SharePointOnlineCredentials to connect SharePoint. This class (which you can find in Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll) doesn't support .net core yet.
I did try to use NetworkCredential class but it doesn't seem to work (Username like xx#company.onmicrosoft.com).
I would like to avoid working with OAuth if possible.
Any idea?
Thanks!

How do I add .NET Core class library reference in Service Fabric App

How do I add .NET Core class library reference in Service Fabric App.
While I'm adding Class Library reference (.NET Core) in WebAPI app, showing Compatibility issues. Please find below What I did, using Visual Studio 2017.
File >> New Project >> Cloud >> Service Fabric Application
Name - FirstServiceFabricApp
Select a Template >> Stateless ASP.NET Core
Name - FirstStatelessAPI
Build and Run the Project. It works.
Although API Project Framework version is .NET Framework 4.5.2.
Added Class Library Project [builds on .NET Core 1.1] as reference into Stateless WebAPI Project. Showing compatibility issues-
Building the solution x64 platform.
My concerns are:
How do I take .NET Core Library reference in Stateless WebAPI Project [Service Fabric]
Should I go/develop with .NET Framework for Class Library which is compatible with Stateless WebAPI project.
I did Azure AD Authentication/Microsoft Graph in Azure APP Service, but never did for Service Fabric App. Whether Azure AD and Microsoft Graph implementation is same in this Stateless WebAPI App. Kindly provide some references on this.
You need to make your class library target a compatible framework e.g. net452 (or netstandard2.0 when it's supported like 2017 Q3)
The below link talks about converting a .net core to azure service fabric application.
It talks about statefulservice. Statelessservice is more or less similar to it.

When it comes to azure ad, i won't have much impact. You can continue to use the same thing

ASP.Net API running on Windows Azure websites

I have an MVC project in Visual Studio 2012 RC which hosts an MVC web site and an ASP.NET API. I use routes to delegate the request to the correct controller.
On my local development machine both the website and api work fine. However when I push the change to Azure websites the website works, but the ASP.NET web api returns HTTP 500 errors.
The base site is: http://salaahtime.azurewebsites.net
One of the web site pages is http://salaahtime.azurewebsites.net/website/login
An example use of the API is http://salaahtime.azurewebsites.net/api/salaahtime/testestablishment/2012/1
However this returns HTTP 500.
I have
Updated my project to use .net 4.0. By default it is set to .net 4.5 which does not work with Azure websites
Removed Entity Framework 5.0 reference which only works with .net 4.5
Any ideas why the api would not work in Azure websites?
There is a known issue when backing a project down from 4.5 to 4.0 using the RC release of Visual Studio 2012. I know this will be slightly painful to hear, but you'll be better off creating a new project and setting the project's framework version to 4 rather than 4.5. This is an issue that should be fixed prior to the product's release.
Hope this helps. Trust me, we know of it and in our own development work have had to re-create projects using the 4 framework.
Also - the 4.5 framework will be supported in Windows Azure Web Sites once the 4.5 framework has been officially released.
Please try to turn off custom error (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h0hfz6fc.aspx), which may give more detailed information. If you’re working with a database, make sure you’ve updated the connection string to use Windows Azure SQL Database instead of a local database. There is also a possibility that Web API is not stood by web sites. The name web sites indicate it is used to build web sites, not web platforms. Web sites have limited features compared to web roles and virtual machines. If that’s the case, please use a web role or a virtual machine.

how to add web reference in MS CRM 2011

on MS CRM 4.0, we can add this web service as web reference:
http:///MSCrmServices/2007/CrmService.asmx
to get all CRM entities to our local,
actually i just want to create a class library project and add web reference to CRM web service, and get all original and my customized entities?
i knew the tool cmrsvcutil.exe (in CRMSDK) can generate all entities (includes customized), but the code is only for .NET 4.0.
can anybody help me?
*UPDATE***
finally i used CRMSDK4 and DynamicEntity to call CRM web service and update my customized eneties.
The CRM 2011 SDK is built on .NET 4 so you may have some trouble if you are working with an earlier version. Can you explain a little more about your application and needs as their are more web services in the 2011 version than there were in 4. It is best practice to use the SDK libraries to reference the service. If you want to use pre .NET 4 I would recommend using the CRM 4 SDK to connect to the CRM 4 endpoint that still exists for backwards compatibility. Note that this isn't a great solution in the long run as the next version likely will not support use of the CRM 4 web service.
To see the new 2011 service endpoints, log in to CRM, click on Settings > Customization > Developer Resources ->

Use CRM 2011 sdk in Sharepoint SDK

Since the CRM 2011 utilises .NET 4 and SharePoint is on .NET 3.5 I started two different projects CRM 2011 Connector and SharePoint 2010 BDC project for it.
When I add this library as reference I get warnings about .NET framework versions.
How to make interaction more clear between .Net 3.5 and .Net 4?
Is it possible to achieve the goal using WCF for CRM and SharePoint SDKs?
