Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Services Illusions Integration Middleware is based on the Windows Communication Foundation service architecture and requires .NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5. WCF simplifies shopping cart integration development through a new service-oriented programming model. WCF supports many styles of distributed application development by providing a layered architecture. At its base, the WCF channel architecture provides asynchronous, untyped message-passing primitives. Built on top of this base are protocol facilities for secure, reliable, transacted data exchange and broad choice of transport and encoding options. NEXT
