Question

If we want to replace remoting to WCF what biding is used ?
If we have used a shared dll beetwen two application in remoting to send message.
how this task can be done in WCF.

Answer 1

The answer would depend on your infrastructure. If your services are all on the same machine, you could use NetNamedPipeBinding. If services and consumers are on different machines, you could use either NetTcpBinding or BasicHttpBinding.

This solved my purpose...
private const int RF_TESTMESSAGE = 0xA123;
const int WM_USER = 0x0400;
const int WM_CUSTOM_MESSAGE = WM_USER + 0x0001;
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hwnd, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int Msg, IntPtr wParam, int lParam);
public FormVideoApp()
{
InitializeComponent();
lblProcID.Text = string.Format("This process ID: {0}", Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//get this running process
Process proc = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
//get all other (possible) running instances
//Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(proc.ProcessName);
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("Application");
int numberToSend = 1500;
string str = string.Empty;
str = "start";
switch (str)
{
case "start":
numberToSend = 101;
break;
case "stop":
numberToSend = 102;
break;
case "error":
numberToSend = 103;
break;
}
if (processes.Length > 0)
{
//iterate through all running target applications
foreach (Process p in processes)
{
if (p.Id != proc.Id)
{
//now send the RF_TESTMESSAGE to the running instance
//SendMessage(p.MainWindowHandle, RF_TESTMESSAGE, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
SendMessage(p.MainWindowHandle, WM_CUSTOM_MESSAGE, IntPtr.Zero, numberToSend);
}
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No other running applications found.");
}
}
protected override void WndProc(ref Message message)
{
//filter the RF_TESTMESSAGE
if (message.Msg == WM_CUSTOM_MESSAGE)
{
int numberReceived = (int)message.LParam;
string str=string.Empty;
//Do ur job with this integer
switch (numberReceived)
{
case 101: str = "start";
break;
case 102: str = "stop";
break;
case 103: str = "error";
break;
}
this.listBox1.Items.Add(str + "Received message RF_TESTMESSAGE");
}
else
{
base.WndProc(ref message);
}
////filter the RF_TESTMESSAGE
//if (message.Msg == RF_TESTMESSAGE)
//{
// //display that we recieved the message, of course we could do
// //something else more important here.
// this.listBox1.Items.Add("Received message RF_TESTMESSAGE");

//be sure to pass along all messages to the base also
//base.WndProc(ref message);
