Syntax

[System.MonoTODO("working only on win32 right now")]
public sealed class NamedPipeServerStream : PipeStream

Remarks

Named pipes provide one-way or duplex pipes for communication between a pipe server and one or more pipe clients. Named pipes can be used for interprocess communication locally or over a network. A single pipe name can be shared by multiple System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream objects.

Any process can act as either a named pipe server or client, or both.

Note:

For winxppro and win2kserver, a maximum of 10 pipes can simultaneously connect over the network.
