Connect to an existing Named Pipe

I am trying to use .NET to "tap into" a named pipe created by a non .NET 3rd
party application. Specifically, the application is a table loading utility.
It opens a named pipe and waits for input.
Does anybody know how I can write to the named pipe from a .NET program. I
have tried using the traditional file access methods, and it appears that
pipes have a problem with file streams. I have tried API calls, but since I
do not have the handle of the pipe, I am having a hard time communicating.

Has anyone accomplished this? HELP!

Thanks!

I am writing two services in VB.NET, one of which needs to send text strings to the other. After reading, I decided (perhaps incorrectly) that named pipes would be the best interprocess communication method for this task. I set about creating, on the pipe's server side, a new thread which would instantiate a blocking inbound message pipe, and the client side which would write to that pipe when needed. Being on the same PC, security is...

Hi, The system is Windows XP and DB2 v8.1.7. I'm trying to load a text file via named pipe into a table. I have two programs: the first program creates the named pipe, waits for a client and writes the text file into the named pipe. the second program is doing the db2Load() call.
