IpcClientChannel Class
Implements a client channel for remote calls that uses the IPC protocol to transmit messages.
Assembly: System.Runtime.Remoting (in System.Runtime.Remoting.dll)
The IpcClientChannel type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | IpcClientChannel() | Initializes a new instance of the IpcServerChannel class. |
![]() | IpcClientChannel(IDictionary, IClientChannelSinkProvider) | Initializes a new instance of the IpcClientChannel class with the specified configuration properties and sink. |
![]() | IpcClientChannel(String, IClientChannelSinkProvider) | Initializes a new instance of the IpcClientChannel class with the specified name and sink. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ChannelName | Gets the name of the current channel. |
![]() | ChannelPriority | Gets the priority of the current channel. |
![]() | IsSecured | Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the current channel is secure. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CreateMessageSink | Infrastructure. Returns a channel message sink that delivers messages to the specified URL or channel data object. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Parse | Infrastructure. Extracts the channel URI and the remote well-known object URI from the specified URL. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Channels are used by the.NET Framework remoting infrastructure to transport remote calls. When a client calls a remote object, the call is serialized into a message that is sent by a client channel and received by a server channel. After the message is received, it is deserialized and processed. Any returned values are transmitted by the server channel and received by the client channel.
The IpcClientChannel class uses the Windows interprocess communication (IPC) system to transport messages between application domains on the same computer. When communicating between application domains on the same computer, the IPC channel is much faster than the TCP or HTTP channels.
To perform additional processing of messages on the client side, you can specify an implementation of the IClientChannelSinkProvider interface through which all messages processed by the IpcClientChannel object will be passed.
By default, the IpcClientChannel class uses a binary formatter to serialize all messages.
A IpcClientChannel object has associated configuration properties that can be set at run time either in a configuration file (by invoking the static RemotingConfiguration::Configure method) or programmatically (by passing a IDictionary collection to the IpcClientChannel constructor). For a list of these configuration properties, see the documentation for the IpcClientChannel constructor.
The following code example shows how to use the IpcClientChannel class.
#using <System.Runtime.Remoting.dll> #using <System.dll> #using <Counter.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting; using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels; using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels::Ipc; public ref class Client { public: void ClientTest() { IpcClientChannel^ clientChannel = gcnew IpcClientChannel; ChannelServices::RegisterChannel( clientChannel ); RemotingConfiguration::RegisterWellKnownClientType( Counter::typeid, L"ipc://remote/counter" ); Counter^ counter = gcnew Counter; Console::WriteLine( L"This is call number {0}.", counter->Count ); } }; int main() { Client^ c = gcnew Client; c->ClientTest(); }
The preceding code uses the following remote object.
For an example of a server that exposes this object remotely, see IpcServerChannel.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
