.NET Framework Class Library
WSHttpBinding Class

Represents an interoperable binding that supports distributed transactions and secure, reliable sessions.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class WSHttpBinding _
    Inherits WSHttpBindingBase
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As WSHttpBinding
C#
public class WSHttpBinding : WSHttpBindingBase
Visual C++
public ref class WSHttpBinding : public WSHttpBindingBase
JScript
public class WSHttpBinding extends WSHttpBindingBase

The WSHttpBinding is similar to the BasicHttpBinding but provides more Web service features. It uses the HTTP transport and provides message security, as does BasicHttpBinding, but it also provides transactions, reliable messaging, and WS-Addressing, either enabled by default or available through a single control setting.

The following sample code shows how to use the WSHttpBinding class.

C#
using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
using System.ServiceModel.Security;
using System.ServiceModel.Security.Tokens;
using System.Security.Permissions;

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = false)]
    double Multiply(double n1, double n2);
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = false)]
    double Divide(double n1, double n2);

What's the point about the CreateWSFederationHttpBinding in the example?
