Version:

Currently using the latest version of Electron.NET with Blazor Server & .NET Core 3.1
And building the project for Windows

I have multiple razor pages but I cannot have the communicate works between them via Ipc

Steps to Reproduce:

Created a razor page and with button and having a handler so when I click the button I send the following message like that
var window = Elelctron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.FirstOrDefault();
Electron.IpcMain.Send(window, "message", "Hello");
In another razor page I'm calling the on Method to listen to the 'message' channel and respond by showing an alert
But when I click the button nothing is happening

Thanks

I understand better why my code is not working:

 Electron.IpcMain.On("show-app-menu-btn", (args) =>
      {
          var mainWindow = Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.FirstOrDefault();
          Electron.Menu.ContextMenuPopup(mainWindow);
      });

Inside my blazor page.

With Blazor server-side, IPC communication should not be necessary.
On the server side, client + server merge.

Could i help?

@GregorBiswanger That's correct, but the buggy IPC leads to the app not being able to close itself gracefully.
