Windows Communication Foundation

Along with excellent communication, good service is one of the most important things that 1SEO.com practices. When it comes to web development, the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is an application programming interface in the .NET Framework for building connected—service-oriented applications. 1SEO.com’s web development team is exceedingly skilled at operating with all the features of Windows Communication Foundation.

Simply put, Windows Communication Foundation is a programming platform and runtime system for building, constructing, and deploying network-distributed services. Windows Communication Foundation is essentially the latest service-oriented technology. Interoperability (which refers to the ability of many systems to work together) is the fundamental characteristic of Windows Communication Foundation. It is a unified programming model provided in the .NET Framework 3.0. Windows Communication Foundation is essentially a combination of features including those of Web Service, Remoting, MSMQ, and COM+. Ideally, WCF provides a general course for all .NET communications to flow exceedingly well.

Windows Communication Foundation, codenamed "Indigo" by Microsoft, is one of the last generations of service-oriented technologies that exist. It provides all the latest services to help developers build quality service-oriented applications. The result of a service-oriented design is a distributed system which bridges communication between the services and its clients.

Windows Communication Foundation is also a skeleton for building service-oriented applications. Using Windows Communication Foundation, our web developers will be able to send data as asynchronous messages from one service endpoint to another. A service endpoint can be part of a continuously available service hosted by IIS, or it can be a service hosted in an application. An endpoint can be a client of a service that requests data from a service endpoint. The messages can be as simple as a single character or word sent as XML, or as complex as a stream of binary data. A few sample situations include:

• A safe service to process business transactions
• A service that gives on hand data to others
• A real-time chat service that allows various people to commune and exchange data
• A dashboard application that polls services for data and presents it coherently
• A Silverlight application to poll various services for the latest data

While creating such applications was possible prior to the existence of Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation makes the development of endpoints easier than ever—and this is why 1SEO.com’s web developers utilize it—for this amazing attribute. 1SEO.com ultimately succeeds when it comes to using Windows Communication Foundation because it is designed to offer a manageable approach to creating Web services.
