Exposing a WCF Service With Multiple Bindings and Endpoints(keithelder.net)

submitted by keithelder(450) 4 years, 4 months ago

Windows Communication Foundation supports multiple bindings that allows developers to expose their services in a variety of ways. What this means is a developer can create a service once and then expose it to support net.tcp:// or http:// and various versions of http:// (Soap1.1, Soap1.2, WS*, JSON, etc).
