About

The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework for building service-oriented applications. Using WCF, you can send data as asynchronous messages from one service endpoint to another. A service endpoint can be part of a continuously available service hosted by IIS, or it can be a service hosted in an application.

Watch discussions for Docker-related .NET announcements.

Usage

The .NET Framework Docker samples show various ways to use .NET Framework and Docker together.

Container sample: Run a WCF application

You can quickly run a container with a pre-built sample WCF Docker image, based on the WCF Docker sample.

Type the following Docker command to start a WCF service container:

docker run --name wcfservicesample --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/samples:wcfservice

Find the IP address of the container instance.

docker inspect --format="{{.NetworkSettings.Networks.nat.IPAddress}}" wcfservicesample
172.26.236.119

Type the following Docker command to start a WCF client container, set environment variable HOST to the IP address of the wcfservicesample container:

docker run --name wcfclientsample --rm -it -e HOST=172.26.236.119 mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/samples:wcfclient

Version Compatibility

If you created your app using an earlier version of .NET Framework, you can generally upgrade it to .NET Framework 4.8+ easily. Additionally, .NET Framework 4.8 and 4.8.1 can run apps that were built targeting any version of .NET Framework 4.
