Using NamedPipes in C#

Hi All,

I want to set up a named pipe connection between two C# application
using visual studio 2005, does anyone know if there are any specific
namespaces or system calls that I need to make to access named pipes.
Even more important, does the .NET architecture even have support for
named pipes? I've looked on MSDN but the only named pipes examples
they have are in C++, thanks!

Not sure, the other you could try is remoting between objects?

There are no support for named pipes in .NET. If you look into the archives
you may find the P/invoke code needed, even you could find a fully
implemented class.

You'll need to p/invoke CreateNamedPipe to create the pipe, however I think
you can connect to a named pipe just like a normal file, in which case the
client could be pure verifiable MSIL.

Try Remoting using IPC channel, look for IpcClientChanne l and IpcServerChanne l in the docs.
IPC channel is implemented using named pipes.
Another option is using .NET Framework V3 WCF, with "NetNamedPipeBi nding" channel. This one
is the fastest as it uses memory mapped files a IPC mechanism.

I ran into a problem on HP-UX 11.00 the other day, where it refused to compile a program using 'using namespace std;' at the top. The reason seem to be that the compiler refuses to accept 'using namespace std;' unless the std namespace was declared first. This triggered my curiosity, and I tried to find out what the ANSI C++ standard had to say about this. I'm unable to find a conclusion, and hope someone here have a clue to spare. ...
