Difference between WCF and WPF


WCF - Windows COMMUNICATION Foundation
WPF - Windows PRESENTATION Foundation.
WCF deals with communication (in simple terms - sending and receiving data as well as
formatting and serialization involved), WPF deals with presentation (UI)


The quick answer is:  
      Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is basically a way of displaying
user interface. 
      Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework for creating service oriented 
applications. 
       As for which one you should use, it depends on your requirement. Usually an application written 
in WPF, ASP.NET..etc called the WCF service to do some processing at the server-side and the
 service returns the result to the application that called it.

  1. Extraordinary explanation was given to the Dot Net Framework’s new features. Each and every framework was clearly understood through your examples. Keep updating more information on .Net frameworks.
