Creating a Project in VS19 to work with an Angular Frontend and ASP.NET Backend

Question

I am trying to set up an Angular8 project to work with an already existing WCF Service and ASP.NET backend. The goals being to get the project set up in Visual Studio 2019. In addition to getting the actual project set up how to then communicate to the WCF Service from the Angular Project to receive the data?

I have tried various tutorials but most of them use ASP.NET Core instead of just ASP.NET. I have gotten far with setting up a test project with a ASP.NET MVC application then forcing it to route to Angular but that is still posing some problems. If someone has some advice for setting up the Angular project to work with just an empty ASP.NET project that would best. None of the test projects I have created thus far are exactly what I am looking for, so posting them here would just cause confusion.

Expected: A demo project to prove that a project can be set up where Angular8 can communicate to the WCF Service, get some data from it then display it.

You can try to use ASP.NET Boilerplate Framework: https://aspnetboilerplate.com/ this framework starter templates for both types of ASP.NET projects: Core and MVC.

ASP.NET Boilerplate (ABP) is an open source and well-documented application framework. It's not just a framework, it also provides a strong architectural model based on Domain Driven Design, with all the best practices in mind.

I believe that is a good way to start. Also you can create project using either: Angular, Vue or React.

Hope that helps you. Good luck!
