WCF Service
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a unified framework for creating secure, reliable, transacted, and interoperable distributed applications.
The WCF programming model is based on communication between two entities: a WCF service and a WCF client. The programming model is encapsulated in the System.ServiceModel namespace in the .NET Framework.
WCF service is based on an interface that defines a contract between the service and the client. It is marked with a ServiceContractAttribute attribute:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
You define functions or methods that are exposed by a WCF service by marking them with a OperationContractAttribute attribute.
[OperationContract]
string GetData(string value);
WCF client consists of a proxy that enables an application to communicate with a WCF service, and an endpoint that matches an endpoint defined for the service. The proxy is generated on the client side in the App.config file and includes information about the types and methods that are exposed by the service.
Running App
To successfully run the Service application, the HTTP have to be registered URL http://localhost:9090 (baseAddress). In order to do that, we have to Run as Administrator the Service applciation.
