How to pass data from one process to another with WCF?

I have two processes (Authenticator.exe, and testProg.exe), I'd like for the testProgram to send a 32bit int to the Authenticator, who would then reply with a string.



I'm not super familiar with WCF, my experience goes no further then emulating the tutorial I'd found here: https://dopeydev.com/wcf-interprocess-communication/



but I'm not sure how to have testProg send a value to Authenticator and "wait" for a response, nor am I familiar with how Authenticator can wait on receiving a sent message, and then extract data for use from it.



Any help or direction to answers would be lovely

  • To make clear, I essentially want to send an int from testProg to Authenticator, have Authenticator do some simple math (int=int*2 or something), and then have Authenticator return the result to testProg to be verified. This is just a simple test app for now, I'm working out different features for my later program

  • "how Authenticator can wait on receiving a sent message" This question is too broad, i mean WCF does this stuff out of the box, a wcf service will wait for a message, thats its job in life, and a client will wait for a response unless you set it up otherwise

  • I don't think you are at the stage of asking questions about this topic, i feel you are at the research and investigation phase, you need to make some examples, read the documentations and blogs, try some things out....

  • @TheGeneral none of the examples I come across give a very good example of what I want to achieve, only sample of setting up WCF (as seen in linked example from question), or things much more complex then my current education or needs

It seems you are looking for Duplex Services in the WCF. This contract allows the server to send the message back to the client as the client provides a channel to do that when connecting to the server.
