Communication between Client and Server using IPC

Access over 40 UI widgets with everything from interactive menus to rich charts.

SharedInterface namespace will be the reference added in both the Client and Server project. To run this project start the Server first and then run the client. Client will send message to server and server will send the same message to client as an acknoledgement.

SharedInterface.cs

namespace SharedInterface
{
    public interface ISharedChannle
    {
        void SendMessage(string message, string sender);
    }
}

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            IpcChannel ipc = new IpcChannel("MessageClient");
            ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(ipc);

            ISharedChannle sm = (ISharedChannle)Activator.GetObject(typeof(ISharedChannle),
                "ipc://MessageServer/MessageServer.rem");

            if (sm == null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Failed to communicate with remote server.");
                return;
            }
           
            string message = "Hi..how r u";           
            string sender = "username";

            try
            {
                sm.SendMessage(message, sender);
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                System.Console.Read();
