• .NET Development Failed to create an IPC Port: Access is denied.

  I have a service that registers a remoting IPC channel on startup and quite often I will get this error when the service is stopped and then restarted.

All files in this project are always recompiled, whether any of them have been changed or not. Any ...Show All
