All communication with a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service occurs through the endpoints of the service. Endpoints provide clients access to the functionality that a WCF service offers.

For an overview about how to create an endpoint, see Endpoint Creation Overview. Each endpoint contains:

  • An address that indicates where to find the endpoint.

  • A binding that specifies how a client can communicate with the endpoint.

  • A contract that identifies the methods available.

For descriptions about how to specify these individual parts of an endpoint, see:
