Attachmate.Reflection.Framework Assembly / Attachmate.Reflection.Framework Namespace / MyReflection Class / CreateApplication Method / CreateApplication(String) Method
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.

    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.
