I echo Emil's comment - the send to all option in a specific domain should be an integral feature of the functionality.

Dan,

I would like to know how you worked around this HRESULT_E_FAIL error and have a message sent to multiple instances of the window. Please post a sample if you have one. Thanks!

Thanks, Dan. I think that "send to all from a given domain" feature should be addressed in the final release.

nasty HRESULT E_FAIL error, no multicast send to instances of a group of windows

Be careful that you check for exceptions when calling Listen, and call Dispose in case you do, otherwise your listening name will be unavailable for future runs of the app. I found this because I tried setting a name of "Everyone" and having multiple instances of the app try to set up listeners with that same name. The idea was that I would multicast send to Everyone from any of the instances, but names must be unique and I don't see a way to send to any instance of a group of browser windows... although I've devised a workaround pattern to do so, it's not nice and simple as calling SendAsync.

Nice sample.

I think it is very important to enable communication with local wpf applications. Right now it is not possible to use webcams and microphones. Using local connections this would be possible, also the integration with local apps could be far better. Even Drag&Drop with local applications would be possible.

This type of mechanism (silverlight to installed client) would enable sites that use activeX controls to go cross browser.

@Pete - there is no API available for WPF and WinForms applications that can enable such communication. What scenario do you have? Why do you need such communication?

Can you use this mechanism to communicate between a Silverlight app and a WPF (or Winform) desktop app?
