Binding in WCF

Hi,

You can integrate existing Message Queuing (MSMQ) applications with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications by using the MSMQ integration binding to convert MSMQ messages to and from WCF messages. This allows you to call into MSMQ receiver applications from WCF clients as well as call into WCF services from MSMQ sender applications.

- Increase application robustness, as clients can send messages even when services are not running.

- Increase application scalability, because multiple service instances can be used to process messages from a single queue.

- Improve client responsiveness, which eliminates the need for clients to wait for a response from the service.

- Reduce decencies between client and services, because all communication is indirect via queues.

- Ensure the durability of messages, because they can survive service and system failures.
