MSDN Webcast: Windows Communication Foundation Top to Bottom (Part 12 of 15): Reliable Messaging (Level 200)  

When you send messages to a remote service, you would like to be sure they get there. If the message does not arrive, you probably want to try again. At a minimum, you want to know if the message never arrived so you can take corrective action. These delivery assurances are provided by some transport protocols, such as TCP and named pipes, but even those assurances can only be guaranteed from point-to-point. If an intermediary, like a proxy server or message router, exists between the sending and receiving applications, there are no guarantees beyond the assurance that the message reached the first network node in transit. In this webcast, we introduce you to reliable sessions, a binding feature in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) that provides assurance at the message level using WS-ReliableMessaging (WS-RM). Join us to learn how to enable reliable sessions on standard bindings, to see how WS-RM works, and to discover how to control reliability settings using a custom binding.
