UPDATE: Looking through the protocol here, I can't figure out what goes into the Unsized Envelope Record. I can't find any examples online.
ORIGINAL:
I have the following WCF service
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var inst = new PlusFiver();
using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(inst,
new Uri[] { new Uri("net.pipe://localhost") }))
{
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IPlusFive), new NetNamedPipeBinding(NetNamedPipeSecurityMode.None), "PipePlusFive");
host.Open();
Console.WriteLine("Service is Available. Press enter to exit.");
Console.ReadLine();
host.Close();
}
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface IPlusFive
{
[OperationContract]
int PlusFive(int value);
}
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single)]
public class PlusFiver : IPlusFive
{
public int PlusFive(int value)
{
Console.WriteLine("Adding 5 to " + value);
return value + 5;
}
}
I output the adding 5 line so I know if the server processed the request or not.
I have a .NET client that I used to test this and everything works as expected.
Now I want to make an unmanaged C++ client for this.
I figured out how to get the name of the pipe, and write to it.
I've downloaded the protocol from here
I can write to the pipe but I can't read to it. Whenever I try to read from it I get a ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE 109 (0x6D) The pipe has been ended. error. If I replace the read with a write, the write is successful, so I don't think that the pipe is closed, at least not until I try to do a read.
Here is how I'm connecting to the
