A queued binding that is suitable for cross-machine communication between WCF applications.

>>>MsmqIntegrationBinding Transport: HTTP/HTTPS Message Encoding: Text Message Version: SOAP 1.1 Interop: Basic Profile 1.1 Security: None [default], Transport, Message, Mixed Session: No Support Tx Flow: No Support Duplex: N

A binding that is suitable for communicating with WS-Basic Profile conformant Web services like ASP.NET Web services (ASMX)-based services.

A secure and interoperable binding that is suitable for non-duplex service contracts.

A secure and interoperable binding that is suitable for duplex service contracts or communication through SOAP intermediaries.

A secure and interoperable binding that supports the WS-Federation protocol, enabling organizations that are in a federation to efficiently authenticate and authorize users.

A secure and interoperable binding that derives from WS2007HttpBinding and supports federated security.

A secure and optimized binding suitable for cross-machine communication between WCF applications.

A binding that enables secure, multi-machine communication.

>>>NetMsmqBinding (Config Name): (msmqIntegrationBinding) Transport: MSMQ Message Encoding: Doesn’t use a WCF message encoding – instead it lets you choose a pre-WCF serialization format Message Version: N/A Interop: MSMQ Security: None, Transport [default] Session: Not Supported Tx Flow: No, Yes Duplex: N

A binding that is suitable for cross-machine communication between a WCF application and existing MSMQ applications.

>>>Feature and Description

Name: The name of the binding.

Config Name: The name of the binding used in configuration such as app.config or web.config.

Scheme: The supported Uri schemes.

Transport: The supported types of message transport (similar to Providers in Remoting).

Message Encoding: The supported types of message encoding.

Message Version: The supported message versions.

Interop: Names the protocol or technology with which the binding ensures interoperation.

Security: Specifies how the channel is secured: * None: The SOAP message is not secured and the client is not authenticated. * Transport: Security requirements are satisfied at the transport layer. * Message: Security requirements are satisfied at the message layer. * Mixed: This security mode is known as TransportWithMessageCredentials. It handles credentials at the message level, and integrity and confidentiality requirements are satisfied by the transport layer. * Both: Both message level and transport level security are used. This ability is unique to the NetMsmqBinding.

Session: Specifies whether this binding supports session contracts.

Transaction Flow: Specifies whether transactions are enabled and the transaction flow type in ().

Duplex: Specifies whether duplex contracts are supported. Note this feature requires support for Sessions in the binding.
