Question

what is ipc in .net..... whether it's possible to use in .net 2003.....if possible explain it ......

Answer 1

IPC is short for "InterProcess Communication". It's essentially any method by which 2 processes communicate information. It is not limited to a particular technology like .Net but is available in many forms.

For the version of the CLR that ships with VS 2003, the most popular IPC mechanism is .Net Remoting. This is a huge topic and even an introduction is not very easy in an SO post. Your best bet is to google. for .Net Remoting and start from there. There are tons of tutorials available

Answer 2

IPC stands for Inter-Process Communication. The possibilities for that in .NET are simply too many to list! What are you looking for, more precisely?

Answer 3

Inter-process communication.

In .Net terms, WCF is commonly used to address the IPC problem space. WCF is available as part of the .Net Framework from version 3.0 upwards.

In Visual Studio 2003 I dont believe you have the option of using WCF. But have a look at WCF's precursor .Net Remoting, which has been around since before version 3.0 of the .net framework and is definitely available in vs2003.

Answer 4
