Hi

Windows Communication Foundation (Code named Indigo) is a programming platform and runtime system for building, configuring and deploying network-distributed services. It is the latest service oriented technology; Interoperability is the fundamental characteristics of WCF. It is unified programming model provided in .Net Framework 3.0. WCF is a combined features of Web Service, Remoting, MSMQ and COM+. WCF provides a common platform for all .NET communication.

Advantages

1. WCF is interoperable with other services when compared to .Net Remoting,where the client and service have to be .Net.
2. WCF services provide better reliability and security in compared to ASMX web services.
3. In WCF, there is no need to make much change in code for implementing the security model and changing the binding. Small changes in the configuration will make your requirements.
4. WCF has integrated logging mechanism, changing the configuration file settings will provide this functionality. In other technology developer has to write the code.

The most eas­i­est and sim­plest way of describ­ing WCF (Win­dows Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Foun­da­tion), I ever read was by Sahil Malik on his blog. I came across it, while read­ing his book, Microsoft Share­Point 2010. He is an MVP and a great guy. I tried to cre­ate a dia­gram out of his expla­na­tion to fur­ther visu­al­ize and store in the mind.
