Could you please clarify wheather I can read/write in the Named Pipes using C#? (like VC++)

If so, please provide me some sample code.

Answer 1

Yes, via NamedPipeServerStream and NamedPipeClientStream: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.pipes.namedpipeserverstream.aspx  and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.pipes.namedpipeclientstream.aspx

The documentation linked above for those two classes show simple examples of how to use them to read and write to pipes.

Hi ManoEG,

  What you post can be implemented using NamedPipeServerStream object, the following code samples has published by C/S model,I hope it will solve your problem.

  C# named-pipe server for IPC (CSNamedPipeServer)

  The VC# code sample demonstrates creating a basic named pipe server for inter-process communication.

  http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/CSNamedPipeServer-4c760c2c 

  C# named-pipe client for IPC (CSNamedPipeClient)

  The VC# code sample demonstrates connecting to a named pipe for inter-process communication.

  Sincerely,

  Jason Wang
