When do I need to use pipe binding?
Is it possible to have a WCF service and a ASP.NET client which have a pipe binding endpoint?
Or do I only need to use pipe binding if I want to talk against another WCF service on the same computer?
The NetNamdPipeBinding is used for interprocess communication. You may prefer to develop your IPC mechanism using WCF rather than learning and dealing with an older technology like .NET Remoting. Also, even if the two services run on the same machine, if at some point you decide you want them to run on separate machines, all you need to do is switch the binding.
