I am looking at implementing listener application for Salesforce Outbound Messaging.

The walkthrough implements it using the deprecated ASMX web service. The code is generated using wsdl.exe with /serverInterface switch.

Here is the WSDL of Salesforce Outbound Messaging:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<definitions targetNamespace="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound"

   xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"

   xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"

   xmlns:tns="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound"

   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

   xmlns:ent="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com"

   xmlns:ens="urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com">

        <!-- Our simple ID Type -->

        <simpleType name="ID">

            <restriction base="xsd:string">

                <length value="18"/>

            </restriction>

        </simpleType>

    </schema>

    <schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com">

                    </sequence>

                </extension>

                    </sequence>

            </complexContent>

        </complexType>

    </schema>

    <schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://soap.sforce.com/2005/09/outbound">

        <import namespace="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com" />

        <import namespace="urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com" />

        <element name="notifications">

        <element name="notificationsResponse">

            <complexType>

                <sequence>

                    <element name="Ack" type="xsd:boolean" />

                </sequence>

            </complexType>

        </element>

    </schema>

</types>

<!-- Method Messages -->   

<message name="notificationsRequest">

    <part element="tns:notificationsResponse" name="response"/>

</message>

<!-- PortType -->

<portType name="NotificationPort">

    <operation name="notifications">

        <documentation>Process a number of notifications.</documentation>

        <input  message="tns:notificationsRequest"/>

        <output message="tns:notificationsResponse"/>

    </operation>

</portType>

<!-- Binding 

     You need to write a service that implements this binding to receive the notifications

 -->

<binding name="NotificationBinding" type="tns:NotificationPort">

    <soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>

    <operation name="notifications">

        <soap:operation soapAction=""/>

        <input>

            <soap:body use="literal"/>

        </input>

        <output> 

            <soap:body use="literal"/>

        </output>

    </operation>

</binding>

<!-- Service Endpoint -->

<service name="NotificationService">

    <documentation>Notification Service Implementation</documentation>

    <port binding="tns:NotificationBinding" name="Notification">

        <soap:address location="http://www.myserver.com/salesforceoutboundprototype/notificationport.svc"/>

    </port>

</service>    

</definitions>

TLDR is I need to implement NotificationBinding so that Salesforce can call my web service when an event occurs on their system.

I since have realized svcutil does not natively support Contract-First development.

As per Contract-First SOA with WCF I used WSCF. Blue to generate server-side stubs from Salesforce WSDL. Whilst the code compiles WSDL generated by my service does not have an operation of the required notification.

I wonder what I am going wrong?

The best option for you is to use ASMX. I have three OM listeners and they all work just fine below 4.0.

I don't know who spreads this misinformation about some .NET2.0 techs but a lot of them are most assuredly not obsoleted just because dev community got resisted with novelty fetish; ASMX is one of them. WCF is simply put not yet complete, it is not fully WS compliant and that causes a lot of grief with salesforce integration (most painful being that WCF does not support SOAP headers where salesforce keeps session info).
