Questions tagged [wcf-endpoint]

A WCF endpoint is the name given to the combination of address, contract, and binding associated to a Windows Communication Foundation service.

A WCF endpoint is what a Windows Communication Foundation () service exposes. All communication with a WCF service occurs through the endpoints of the service. Endpoints provide clients access to the functionality that a WCF service offers.

Each endpoint contains:

  • An address that indicates where to find the endpoint.
  • A binding that specifies how a client can communicate with the endpoint. It dictates the transformations that are applied as well as the shape of the messages sent to the implementation of the Contract at the Address.
  • A contract that identifies the methods available.

Endpoint is the name given to the fusion of address, contract, and binding.
