   In this blog I am listing few differences between WCF and Web Service. A lot from us gets confused which is the best out these two to use. Please have a look on the below table and find yourself what to choose and why.

WCF
         · WebService and WebMethod attributes are used for defining web service.
          · ServiceContract and OperationContract attributes are used for defining WCF service.
          · Support security but is less secure as compared to WCF.
          · Supports security, reliable messaging, transaction and AJAX and REST supports.
          · Supports XML serializer by using System.Xml.Serialization.
          · Supports DataContract serializer by using System.Runtime.Serialization.
          · Supports One-Way and Request-Response service operations.
          · Supports One-Way, Request-Response and Duplex service operations.
          · Web Services are slower than WCF
          · WCF are faster than Web Services.
          · Hash Table cannot be serialized. It can serializes only those collections which implement IEnumerable and ICollection.

          · Web Services are hosted in IIS by pointing the ASMX file to the virtual directory.
          
       · WCF provides more options for hosting,  It combines old hosting options with new ones like hosting on WAS. WCF applications can also be hosted in the following ways:
