MSDN Webcast: Windows Communication Foundation Top to Bottom (Part 05 of 15): Bindings (Level 200)  

So far in this series, we have learned how to expose a service endpoint using a few of the standard bindings, such as NetTcpBinding and BasicHttpBinding. In fact, every service endpoint is associated with a particular binding. Bindings describe the transport protocol, message encoding format, and other messaging protocols that define the communication channel. In this webcast, we explain how binding configuration builds the communication channel, introduce you to each of the standard bindings, and explain the core protocols and features provided by each of these bindings. We also cover common scenarios where standard bindings can be applied, describe configuration settings that are most applicable to the scenario, and explore how to apply a custom binding when the standard bindings do not satisfy your requirements.
