WCF stands for Windows Communication Foundation. It is a framework which is used for building, configuring and basically a Microsoft technology deploying interoperable distributed services. Using WCF, you can send data as asynchronous messages from one service endpoint to another. The program gives you the opportunity to do correspondence via different methods, including MS informing queuing, services, and remote access. It also enables you to communicate with non-Microsoft applications or .NET programs. Formerly known as Indigo, it also provides hosting services across all operating systems. WCF services can be hosted in IIS, self-hosted, or through the Windows Activation Service.
