Hi.
I have a windows service. I want to write an (C# .net) application that users run to communicate with the service. There is no restriction on .net version but security is important. What solution do you suggest?
I did a bit of research and found out named pipes and LRPC are good choices among other technologies. However it looks like in .net we'd better use WCF which, for IPC, supports named pipes. But WCF seems to have a steep learning curve. So I decided to ask you before I start to learn it.
Thank you very much for you help in advanced.

I used WCF for exactly this purpose. There is a learning curve - mostly because of the number of configurable options exposed. I recommend "Programming WCF Services" by Juval Lowy - it's on Safari.

Thanks. I found it here[^].
Thank you so much for your great help. I'll start reading in a few minutes.

By the way, How was the performance? Does it support only named pipes for IPC?
I think there must be these information in the book but I can't wait to know them! Sorry.

Performance was fine. It supports everything from named pipes to https.
You need the ABCs: Address, Binding, Contract. You can mostly mix and match these - I think I used a tcp binding as I needed to support remote access.

Thank you so much Nick. Your help is really appreciated. And thank you again for the book recommendation. It's a nice book. I hope to be ready to code the communication part within a few weeks (or less maybe.)
Thanks for all the help. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi. I just wanted to thank you again for the book recommendation. What a nice book. I enjoy reading every line. Such books can't be found easily these days. It has been kind of you. Thank you very much.

Ok, utterly sick and tired of this, his latest stunt is to falsely claim to be an "MVP (Microsoft Corporation)".
Surely, many if not all of you must have had enough of him as I. So I sent an email to Chris, and would ask that you do the same. Typically, I wouldn't mind as much, his stupidity has become all but to common on the forum, but the claim to be MVP (Microsoft Corporation) combined with completely false and erroneous (and potentially damaging) "responses" to other users threads can't be ignored. He has suggested everything from editing the registry IIRC, along with uninstalling the .NET Framework altogether.
This is obviously something we wouldn't want this user to say to potentially serious beginners, especially under the false pretenses of being an MVP (Microsoft Corporation).

Check out the sig "Always ready to be helped and be helped...." Nice.
Although I don't appreciate the extra topic in the forum about the guy. It's more than he deserves.
Truly, if you have a serious problem with a member of the forums you should just e-mail Chris. There's no need to make a spectacle of it.
Even if the person in question deserves it.

I cannot believe he claimed something of that sort. For the love of God, I'm going to take this forward to the MVP lead of South Asia (this Rajdeep dimwit seems to be living in India). I'm taking this personally and see if I can have MS to rig his filthy arse legally.

Thank God for he isn't an Indian.
Bangladesh still comes under the South Asia MVP province and hence the South Asia MVP lead can do something better than the other MVP leads.

Hi Bros,
I have noticed in certain trial applications, that after a specific amount of use, the app. just fails to process requests any further since the trial period gets expired.
However, in my application, I want that if the date of executing the application is 15 /* just for instance */ then, something like this should happen:
if (current.date=15)
{
}
else
{
}
Any ideas how to do this in C#? Help will truly be appreciated!

If (DateTime.Now.Date == 15)
{
}
you need to execute this at the application startup.(i.e. the Main() method)

Rajdeep - I was prepared to give you a chance. I hoped that you might take the advice of others and grow up - we've all been young once, and I will defend your right to be a moronic arse until your dying breath, but you've plumbed new depths. Several of my close friends are Microsoft MVPs, and you demean them with your presumption here - you are not, and you never will be competent enough even to lick the sh*t off the shoes of any of the MVPs. Now remove this ridiculous assertion of yours, you moronic dumbnut. I am so disgusted with you now, that I will actively refuse to provide you with any help (oh, I will be passing your details onto Microsoft, they do take this type of thing very seriously).

You're right of course. I stopped replying some time ago, when it became obvious to me he is the perfect white hole, where nothing ever sinks in.
I am pretty sure he needs help, not the kind of help this site intends to offer though.

This tool should just be barred from the site. How is it people still haven't had enough of him yet?
We have a user who is clearly researching and attempting to compromise the security of other machines by creating malicious code, his previous queries clearly support that statement.
Can we get Chris on this one, please? Perhaps an MVP who know's him slightly??
(Now you see why my thread existed the other day, this guy's a f***ing tool.)
EDIT: Wow, executing a specific line of code based of a certain day, that doesn't sound familiar at all[^]. Wonder where that idea came from?

I've forwarded his details to Microsoft via one of the MVPs I know. He's going to pass this through the chain.

I fear that wouldn't do much at all, at his level his exposure is nominal, it's not as if he has a job so that we may report his actions to a supervisor. Please see thread above for proposed suggestion.
