Visual Studio 2022 / 2019 Add Web Reference missing

problem

For a .NET Framework project, I want to add a Web Reference using a WSDL file, but there is no Add Web Reference when right clicking a project in Visual Studio 2022 / 2019. Where is it?

solution

It's there, but it's a bit hidden.

  1. Right click the project in Solution Explorer, go on Add and then Service Reference
  2. Click the Advanced button in the lower left corner
  3. There you have it, again in the lower left corner, Add Web Reference

This is for .NET Framework projects, it seems it's nowhere to be found for .NET Core projects.
