Hi, I have created a Windows Service which uses IPC Remoting to share data
with a VB.Net application. The service process runs in the LocalSystem
Account. When the the client VB app attempts to access data from the shared
class, I get the following error:

"Failed to connect to IPC Port. Access is denied."

Initialy, I developed & debuged the Windows Service code in a VB.Net
Windows application and all worked fine. Is there some security issue I need
to contend with when running as a LocalSystem service?

Hi,

have a look at this sample:

it should actually solve your issue.
