Describing Windows Communication Foundation
The move to service-oriented communication has changed software development. Whether
done with SOAP or in some other way, applications that interact through services have
become the norm. For Windows developers, this change was made possible by Windows
Communication Foundation (WCF). First released as part of the .NET Framework 3.0 in 2006,
then updated in the .NET Framework 3.5, the most recent version of this technology is
included in the .NET Framework 4. For a substantial share of new software built on .NET,
WCF is the right foundation.
Explicit Support for Service-Oriented Development
Creating applications in a service-oriented style is becoming the norm. For this to happen, the
platforms on which those applications are built must provide the right support for creating
service-oriented software. Achieving this is one of WCF‟s most important goals.
Thinking of an application as providing and consuming services is hardly a new idea. What is
new with WCF is a clear focus on services as distinct from objects. Toward this end, WCF‟s
creators kept four tenets in mind during the design of this technology
Conclusion
Because it unifies different approaches to communication, WCF can simplify the creation of
distributed applications on Windows. Because it implements SOAP and the most important
WS-* specifications, along with RESTful communication, WCF provides broad interoperability
with other platforms. And because it offers explicit support for a service-oriented approach,
WCF gives developers a natural environment for building modern software.
Service-oriented applications are becoming the norm, and WCF is now a mainstream
technology for Windows. For anyone who creates software in this world, this shift qualifies as a
significant step forward.
