Looking at how you move data and services from one point to another using Microsoft - based
technologies, you will find that there are a lot of choices at your disposal. For instance, you can use
ASP.NET Web services, .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, and MSMQ for starters. What technology
should you use? Well, it really comes down to what you are trying to achieve, because each technology is
better used in a particular situation.
With that in mind, Microsoft brought all of these technologies together, and with the release of the .NET
Framework 3.0 as well as it s inclusion in the .NET Framework 3.5, you now have a single way to move
data — the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). WCF provides you with the ability to build your
service one time and then expose this service in a multitude of ways (under different protocols even) by
just making changes within a configuration file. You will find that WCF is a powerful new way of
connecting disparate systems. Chapter 42, “ Windows Communication Foundation, ” covers this in detail.
