How can I communicate with WCF from Delphi using Named Pipes Binding

Can I use Delphi 2007 to communicate with a WCF service using the netnamedpipebinding ?

If so, then how?

Solution

  • I suggest that you create a COM-visible proxy for your service using .NET (and WCF!), then consume it from Delphi as you would any COM object.

    There are several reasons why implementing a native client for a WCF service listening on a NetNamedPipesBinding endpoint is extremely complex. See http://blogs.charteris.com/blogs/chrisdi for more details.
