Hi, WCF includes predefined bindings for most common communication protocols such as SOAP over HTTP, SOAP over TCP, and SOAP over Message Queues, etc. Interaction between WCF endpoint and client is done using a SOAP envelope. SOAP envelopes are in simple XML form, which makes WCF platform-independent. When a client wants to access the service via an endpoint, it not only needs to know the contract, but it also has to adhere to the binding specified by the endpoint. Thus, both client and server must have compatible endpoints. BasicHttpBinding Basic Web service communication. No security by default WSHttpBinding Web services with WS-* support. Supports transactions WSDualHttpBinding Web services with duplex contract and transaction support WSFederationHttpBinding Web services with federated security. Supports transactions MsmqIntegrationBinding Communication directly with MSMQ applications. Supports transactions NetMsmqBinding Communication between WCF applications by using queuing. Supports transactions NetNamedPipeBinding Communication between WCF applications on same computer. Supports duplex contracts and transactions NetPeerTcpBinding Communication between computers across peer-to-peer services. Supports duplex contracts NetTcpBinding Communication between WCF applications across computers. Supports duplex contracts and transactions Reference link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Communication_Foundation http://wcftutorial.net/endpoint.aspx
