[Zhao Li]

Hi All,

What are the IPC mechanisms .NET supports? Can named pipe be implemented in
..NET?

Any input would be appreciated.

What are the IPC mechanisms .NET supports?

If you haven't already, check out .NET remoting. It can be used with a
number of different channels, including various Win32 IPC mechanisms.

But to actually use the IPC you usually have to call the Win32 APIs
through P/Invoke, the framework doesn't have very good support for
that.

Can named pipe be implemented in .NET?

Yes, by calling the named pipe APIs. There's also a named pipe
remoting channel sample available from http://www.gotdotnet.com.
