.NET integration Framework

Is there any kind of framework that provides some generic mechanism for integration between applications or something similar? By integration I presume data exchange (import and export) between two applications via some standard interface like Web Service.

WCF works great for highly coupled systems, however, if you need your systems to be loosely coupled, try a message based framework like nServiceBus.

Yes, there is - Windows Communication Foundation.

You can use that to communicate via Web Services over HTTP (SOAP or REST), TCP, Named Pipes, and many other protocols.

More traditional Inter-Process Communication (IPC) methods include Named Pipes, .NET Remoting, Memory-Mapped Files, and WM_COPYDATA. But I would really recommend WCF over any of those, it's a lot easier to get up and running.
