This document provides a high-level view of the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) architecture. It is intended to explain key concepts in WCF and how they fit together. There are a few code examples to further illustrate the concepts, but code is not the emphasis of this document.
The rest of this document is organized in two main sections:
WCF Fundamentals: Covers key concepts in WCF, terms, and architectural components.
Code Examples: Provides a few short code examples intended to illustrate and reify the concepts covered in WCF Fundamentals.
WCF Fundamentals
A WCF Service is a program that exposes a collection of Endpoints. Each Endpoint is a portal for communicating with the world.
A Client is a program that exchanges messages with one or more Endpoints. A Client may also expose an Endpoint to receive Messages from a Service in a duplex message exchange pattern.
