Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I've only run into a difference once. I generated wcf proxies against a very old asmx webservice and ran into serialization errors on certain operations. When I regenerated the code using a "legacy" web reference everything worked fine.

  • I vaguely remember there being several service packs for that version of WSE. I think there were difference in the way the code behaved depending on which SP was installed. Don't remember what behavior was different though. Using a web reference (ASMX) instead of a service reference (WCF) in Visual Studio is good advice if you do run into issues with WCF since ASMX technology was designed to replace WSE. – Sixto Saez Aug 22 '11 at 19:38
  • "ASMX technology was designed to replace WSE"? I think you mean that WCF was designed to replace WSE. – John Saunders Dec 09 '11 at 12:45

A very good article describing this is here.

Also the various wcf bindings are explained here

hope this helps.
