使Chrome扩展程序调用Windows服务

Question

My goal is call a Windows Service, passing a string as parameter, from a google chrome extension.

Is it possible? Any samples available?

I did the same question on Codeproject and the user kbrandwijk has solved my problem.

Here is his answer. I'm posting here to help anyone who have the same question.

The only part of the API that allows you to communicate outside of the sandbox since NPAPI is phased out, is the Native Messenging API . This approach would however, require you to install a host and register it in Chrome.

This host can be a small C# program that actually talks to the Windows Service. Check the example here: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/nativeMessaging/
