C# Source Generator library for Inter-Process Communication

H.Ipc

This generator allows you to generate boilerplate code for H.Pipes based on the interface you specify. Generation example: https://github.com/HavenDV/H.ProxyFactory/issues/7#issuecomment-1072287342

Nuget

NuGet

Install-Package H.Ipc

Usage

// Common interface
public interface IActionService
{
    void ShowTrayIcon();
    void HideTrayIcon();
    void SendText(string text);
}

// Server side implementation
[H.IpcGenerators.IpcServer]
public partial class ActionService : IActionService
{
    public void ShowTrayIcon()
    {
        MessageBox.Show(nameof(ShowTrayIcon));
    }

    public void HideTrayIcon()
    {
        MessageBox.Show(nameof(HideTrayIcon));
    }

    public void SendText(string text)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(text);
    }
}

// Client side implementation
[H.IpcGenerators.IpcClient]
public partial class ActionServiceClient : IActionService
{
}

// Server initialization
await using var server = new PipeServer<string>(ServerName);
var service = new ActionService();
service.Initialize(server);
await server.StartAsync();

// Client initialization
await using var client = new PipeClient<string>(ServerName);
var service = new ActionServiceClient();
service.Initialize(client);
await client.ConnectAsync();

// Client usage
client.ShowTrayIcon();
