For security, I'd really rather have socket mechanisms other than simply TCP/IP (such as UNIX-style named pipes)... and I'd also much prefer to have the ability to bind to a specific IP in the case where TCP/IP is the only socket model available. (Realistically, I'd rather have the ability to bind to a specific IP anyway -- allow one machine to run multiple apparently-different instances on a single machine.)
Technically, Windows has named pipes as well, but you can't get to them from inside .NET. You have to drop to the native interface, upon which Win32/Win64 is built. -Kyle H On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 1:12 PM, Melanie <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > looks like what I have wanted to do for a long time.
