How are wcf services and asp.net-wcf related?


Asked by Calliope Brady on Dec 14, 2021 ASP.NET



The results of the side-by-side model are as follows: ASP.NET and WCF services can share AppDomain state. Because the two frameworks can coexist in the same AppDomain, WCF can also share AppDomain state with ASP.NET (including static variables, events, and so on). WCF services behave consistently, independent of hosting environment and transport.
One may also ask,
Hosting WCF side-by-side with ASP.NET. WCF services hosted in Internet Information Services (IIS) can be located with .ASPX pages and ASMX Web services inside of a single, common Application Domain. ASP.NET provides common infrastructure services such as AppDomain management and dynamic compilation for both WCF and the ASP.NET HTTP runtime.
Similarly, The value of false indicates that all WCF services running in the application will not run in ASP.NET Compatibility Mode.
In addition,
Alternatively, you can consider running your services in WCF’s ASP.NET compatibility mode. Although the WCF model is designed to behave consistently across hosting environments and transports, there are often scenarios where an application does not require this degree of flexibility.
In this manner,
With wcf we can configure and expose the same service support for multiple endpoints like tcp, http.if you want your service to be only http based then it will be better to go with web API. Web API has very less configuration when compared to wcf and is bit faster than wcf. Wcf also supports restful services.
