C# Pipes

[Anonymous]

I am trying to convert an old MFC GUI which fires off a continuously running C++ program into a C# GUI which will fire off a continuously running C# program. The former used two pipes to pass information back and forth. I cannot seem to find the .Net compliment of pipes in any of the .NET documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Hi! You can download a named-pipes-channel here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/userfiles/jhawk/NamedPipeChannel.zip

Thanks so much. I knew that it could probably be done but I would have never found it. This looks like something I can certainly use.

I looked at the zip file which was referenced in the previous reply. It appears that the code simply creates the pipe process in MFC/C++ code which is then put into a DLL and imported into the C# program. Athough I am sure that this works, I was really looking for the C# compliment to pipe processing. Once my C# GUI process spawns my C# process, is there any way for the two to pass information back and forth. I am not very familiar with channels, threads, etc. so I don't know whether these would be my solution. Once again, any assistance/direction is greatly appreciated.
