IPC channel name. The channel name must have the same format as a valid Internet hostname. Names can contain only the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen ('-'). No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.
Creates an application that represents the instance of MyReflection running at the specified IPC channel.

Parameters

channelName
IPC channel name. The channel name must have the same format as a valid Internet hostname.

No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.

Return Value

An Application object.
Example
This sample starts two Reflection instances and assigns channel names to each instance. Then it gets handles to the instances with those channel names.
