WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) Question:
When is the MsmqIntegrationBinding or the
NetMsmqBinding used?
Answer:
The MsmqIntegrationBinding is intended for use with
existing, already-written native MSMQ applications. The
NetMsmqBinding is a lot better to use but only works if you
have WCF on both ends of the queue. Therefore, one of these
is always the clear choice for your queuing scenario
depending on what's on the other side. There's nothing
stopping you from hosting separate endpoints for each of
these bindings at the same time if you need communication
with both native and WCF clients. However, the two
endpoints need to be kept with separate queues because the
messages are not compatible.
