Windows 10: Problems adding WiFi Direct to a SQL Server Windows app (WIN32 interface)

I already asked this question a few minutes ago but can find no reference to it. I'll ask again and see if it stays visible.



I am having all sorts of problems with WPF. I am working with WiFiDirect from the samples and trying to modify for my own use. Since the CPP and JS samples do not execute (crash on connection, not very encouraging), I am working with CS. I am trying to connect to another Windows app (not WPF) and having all sorts of problems. I tried to communicate with Windows messages (WM_USER+1) but not a sign of life. I was using broadcast handle 0xffff but nothing seen.


So I tried pipes and appear to be in even more trouble. The system tells me it can’t find System.IO.Pipes, so I used NUGET to install it. It compiles, great! Then it crashes on the first call.


Here is the NUGET installation:


PM> Install-Package System.IO.Pipes -Version 4.3.0


Restoring packages for H:\github\Windows-universal-samples-master\Samples\WiFiDirect\cs\WiFiDirect.csproj...


GET https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/system.io.pipes/index.json


OK https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/system.io.pipes/index.json 166ms


GET https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/system.io.pipes/4.3.0/system.io.pipes.4.3.0.nupkg


OK https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/system.io.pipes/4.3.0/system.io.pipes.4.3.0.nupkg 15ms


Installing System.IO.Pipes 4.3.0.

Restore completed in 1.38 sec for H:\github\Windows-universal-samples-master\Samples\WiFiDirect\cs\WiFiDirect.csproj.


Successfully installed 'System.IO.Pipes 4.3.0' to WiFiDirect


Executing nuget actions took 3.79 sec


Time Elapsed: 00:00:05.4401653


Here is the error message I get on execution:


Message "Could not load file or assembly 'System.IO.Pipes, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified." String


All I am trying to do is find a sample WiFi direct program to add function to an existing application and it is killing me: usability factor of – infinity, to be slightly cynical.


All I am trying to do is find a working WiFi Direct sample program that I can use to add to my C Win32 application, but it is proving VERY difficult.


The categories I have to choose from are ridiculous. I am writing a security application providing access control to customer assets. Not that that matters, all I am looking for is working WiFi direct sample code allowing me to connect the host system to Android devices.
