A WCF service is configurable using the [!INCLUDE[dnprdnshort](../../../includes/dnprdnshort-md.md)] configuration technology. Most commonly, XML elements are added to the Web.config file for an Internet Information Services (IIS) site that hosts a WCF service. The elements allow you to change details such as the endpoint addresses (the actual addresses used to communicate with the service) on a machine-by-machine basis. In addition, WCF includes several system-provided elements that allow you to quickly select the most basic features for a service. Starting with [!INCLUDE[netfx40_long](../../../includes/netfx40-long-md.md)], WCF comes with a new default configuration model that simplifies WCF configuration requirements. If you do not provide any WCF configuration for a particular service, the runtime automatically configures your service with some standard endpoints and default binding/behavior. In practice, writing configuration is a major part of programming WCF applications.

For more information, see [Configuring Bindings for Services](../../../docs/framework/wcf/configuring-bindings-for-wcf-services.md). For a list of of the most commonly used elements, see [System-Provided Bindings](../../../docs/framework/wcf/system-provided-bindings.md). For more information about default endpoints, bindings, and behaviors, see [Simplified Configuration](../../../docs/framework/wcf/simplified-configuration.md) and [Simplified Configuration for WCF Services](../../../docs/framework/wcf/samples/simplified-configuration-for-wcf-services.md).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> When deploying side by side scenarios where two different versions of a service are deployed, it is necessary to specify partial names of assemblies referenced in configuration files. This is because the configuration file is shared across all versions of a service and they could be running under different versions of the .NET Framework.
