Remarks

When a one-way method is called, the client does not wait for the server to finish processing the message. The client method returns to the application with no knowledge of whether or not the server will successfully process the message. Methods are marked as one way using the OneWayAttribute.

One-way methods cannot have a return value or any out parameters.
