named pipes

[gerry]

Hi ,
using .net 2.0 / vs 2005 I need to do some work with named pipes.
After a few quick googles and some looking through the msdn docs I looks
like this would still be done via interop.
Before I put any time into this I thought I would verify that this is true,
or is there something in the 2.0 framework for dealing with named pipes that
I've missed ?

thanks
Gerry

Try these:

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/DotNetNamedPipesPart1.asp
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/DotNetNamedPipesPart2.asp

These articles are using .NET 1.1, but the code, for the most part, should
work with .NET 2.0.

Also, do a Google search on "named pipes" and ".net framework".

Thanks christopher , I had already found those links among others.
I was more interested in whether or not this was something that had been
included natively in the framework and I just wasn't finding it.

thanks again

It's not included 'natively' in the .NET framework.
But I think you suffer from some misconception.
Include 'natively' in the .NET framework usually mean plenty of interop
under the hood.

'suffer' ???
no misconceptions here - I couldn't care less what's 'under the hood' - if I
don't have code it then that's native enough for me.
