title: What is a WCF Service Moniker?
body: <p>This maybe a stupid question but I have googled my butt off trying to find a definition of "Service Moniker". I see it everywhere with respect to WCF; it gets used, it gets configured, etc. At first I thought it might be some tool, then some object, and now I am beginning to believe that it is just a set of parameters describing the WCF channel.</p>
  
  <p>I have got a simple WCF service (with callbacks) and client working using a named pipes communication channel in the past two weeks and for all I know I am 'using' a 'service moniker'.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please tell me what a service moniker is? That may help me toward trying to solve my next problem of accessing my WCF service from an UNMANAGED C++ client; I see the term a lot in articles related to the C++/WCF issue.</p>
  
  <p>Big thanks!!</p>
