Introduction

In first part of my tutorials about Windows Communication Foundation I gave an introduction.  WCF is an infrastructure for distributed systems that is produced by Microsoft and most of the differences that you will see between Object Oriented Architecture and Service Oriented Architecture come from this "Distributed Systems."

Service Oriented applications have some different fundamentals in comparison with Object Oriented applications.  Therefore if you are not aware of these fundamentals then you need to learn them in order to be able to work with Service Oriented technologies.  So in WCF we frequently deal with some simple but important fundamentals that make the basics of this technology.

In this article I want to talk about all the fundamentals that you need to know to start working with Windows Communication Foundation.  After reading this article, you will know the meaning of many common words in WCF articles, books and documentation.

Before stepping into the main body of this article I recommend you read the first part of these tutorials.  In the first part we learned that three things make a WCF application: Services, Clients and Intermediaries.  In this part we will follow previous part by introducing more concepts and fundamentals.

Firstly, thanks for article but could you give some examples for duplex pattern?
Somewhere on net I read an example for duplex as "Fax machine"
But, I couldn't understand cause it also gets a request and with this request it recieves the message to the place and also send a response that tels the message send successfully or not.

This is great article...especially for beginners.
But the asynchronous message exchange pattern is the Duplex pattern and not the Request/reply pattern which is synchronous.

You mentioned about request-reply is asynchronous but i believe the explanation for asynchronous is wrong..please correct it else it is definitely confusing and incorrect info.. Thanks.
Title: Request-Reply pattern is Synchronous

You mentioned Request-Reply pattern is asnchronous but its waiting for response from service. So i believe this pattern is Synchronous one. Thanks for you Arthicle. Regards,Shan

HI,
Just one small doubt, In above article "Request-Reply" pattern is defined as "two way asynchronous messaging pattern" but down when explaining the same it is specified that after sending a request client should wait for the reply from service(which is Synchronous i believe bcz as far i know in Asynchronous messaging client need not wait for server/service reply and meanwhile client can continue with its business).

It would be great if you clarify me.

Thanks,
