Basics of WCF


Basics of WCF
Definition of WCF 
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework for building service-oriented applications. Using WCF we can build secure, reliable, transacted solutions that integrate across platforms.
WCF is a unified framework which provides :
1. NET Remoting 2.Distributed Transactions 3.Message Queues and 4.Web Services into a single service-oriented programming model for distributed computing.
WCF interoperate between WCF-based applications and any other processes that communicate via SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages.

Features of WCF
  1. Service Orientation
  2. Interoperability
  3. Multiple Message Patterns
  4. Service Metadata
  5. Data Contracts
  6. Security
  7. Multiple Transports and Encodings
  8. Reliable and Queued Messages
  9. Durable Messages
  10. Transactions
  11. AJAX and REST Support
  12. Extensibility
To know more about features of WCF see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733103.aspx

Terms of WCF
A WCF service is exposed to the outside world as a collection of endpoints.
1. Endpoint: Endpoint is a construct at which messages are sent or received (or both). Endpoint comprises of ABC’s       
What are ABC’s of WCF ? 
A. Address - Address is a location that defines where messages can be sent
B. Binding - Binding is a specification of the communication mechanism (a binding) that described how messages should be sent
C. Contract - Contract is a definition for a set of messages that can be sent or received (or both) at that location (a service contract) that describes what message can be sent.
2. Service: A construct that exposes one or more endpoints, with each endpoint exposing one or more service operations.
3. Contracts: A contract is a agreement between two or more parties for common understanding and it is a is a platform-neutral and standard way of describing what the service does. In WCF, all services expose contracts.
Types of Contracts:
1) Operation Contract: An operation contract defines the parameters and return type of an operation.
1[OperationContract]
2double Add(double i, double j);
2) Service Contract: Ties together multiple related operations contracts into a single functional unit.
01[ServiceContract] //System.ServiceModel
02public interface IMath
03{
04    [OperationContract]
05    double Add(double i, double j);
06    [OperationContract]
07    double Sub(double i, double j);
08    [OperationContract]
09    Complex AddComplexNo(Complex i, Complex j);
10    [OperationContract]
11    Complex SubComplexNo(Complex i, Complex j);
12}
3) Data Contract: The descriptions in metadata of the data types that a service uses.
01// Use a data contract
02[DataContract] //using System.Runtime.Serialization
03public class Complex
04{
05    private int real;
06    private int imaginary;
07 
08    [DataMember]
09    public int Real { getset; }
10 
11    [DataMember]
12    public int Imaginary { getset; }
13}

WCF Step by Step Tutorial


This is the Basic WCF Tutorial ‘wcfMathSerLib’ will be created in a step by step approach. This ‘wcfMathSerLib’ will be tested by ‘ConsoleMathClient’ and with ‘WCF Test Client’
Steps for creating wcfMathSerLib
1. Open Visual Studio 2010 and File->NewProject
2.select WCF in ‘Recent Templates’
3.select ‘WCF Service Library’
4.Give Name as wcfMathServiceLibrary
5.Click OK
Image(1)
2. Delete IService1.cs and Service1.cs
Image(2)
3. Add IMath.cs and MathService.cs and add the code listed below
Image(3)
IMath.cs
01using System.Runtime.Serialization;
02using System.ServiceModel;
03 
04namespace WcfMathServLib
05{
06    [ServiceContract] //System.ServiceModel
07    public interface IMath
08    {
09        [OperationContract]
10        double Add(double i, double j);
11        [OperationContract]
12        double Sub(double i, double j);
13        [OperationContract]
14        Complex AddComplexNo(Complex i, Complex j);
15        [OperationContract]
16        Complex SubComplexNo(Complex i, Complex j);
17    }
18 
19    // Use a data contract
20    [DataContract] //using System.Runtime.Serialization
21    public class Complex
22    {
23        private int real;
24        private int imaginary;
25 
26        [DataMember]
27        public int Real { getset; }
28 
29        [DataMember]
30        public int Imaginary { getset; }

MathService.cs
01namespace WcfMathServLib
02{
03    public class MathService : IMath
04    {
05 
06        public double Add(double i, double j)
07        {
08            return (i + j);
09        }
10 
11        public double Sub(double i, double j)
12        {

13            MathClient math = new MathClient();
14            Console.WriteLine("Add of 3 and 2 = {0}", math.Add(3, 2));
15            Console.WriteLine("Sub of 3 and 2 = {0}", math.Sub(3, 2));
16 
17            Complex no1 = new Complex();
18            no1.Real = 3;
19            no1.Imaginary = 3;

22            no2.Real = 2;
23            no2.Imaginary = 2;
24 
25            Complex result = new Complex();
26            result = math.AddComplexNo(no1, no2);
27            Console.WriteLine("Add of 3+3i and 2+2i = {0}+{1}i", result.Real, result.Imaginary);
28 
29            result = math.SubComplexNo(no1, no2);
