Examples

The following example sends a string from a parent process to a child process using anonymous pipes. This example creates an AnonymousPipeServerStream object in a parent process with a PipeDirection value of PipeDirection.Out. It also creates an AnonymousPipeClientStream object in a child process with a PipeDirection value of PipeDirection.In. The parent process then sends a user-supplied string to the child process. The string is displayed to the console.

This example is for the server process, which uses the AnonymousPipeServerStream class. For the entire code example, including the code for both the pipe client and server, see How to: Use Anonymous Pipes for Local Interprocess Communication.

Remarks

Anonymous pipes help provide safe and secure interprocess communication between child and parent processes. The AnonymousPipeServerStream class enables a parent process to send or receive information from a child process.

Anonymous pipes are unnamed, one-way pipes that typically transfer data between parent and child processes. Anonymous pipes are always local; they cannot be used over a network. A PipeDirection value of InOut is not supported because anonymous pipes are defined to be one-way.

Anonymous pipes do not support the PipeTransmissionMode.Message read mode.

The client side of an anonymous pipe must be created from a pipe handle provided by the server side by calling the GetClientHandleAsString method. The string is then passed as a parameter when creating the client process. From the client process, it is then passed to the AnonymousPipeClientStream constructor as the pipeHandleAsString parameter.

The AnonymousPipeServerStream object must dispose the client handle using the DisposeLocalCopyOfClientHandle method in order to be notified when the client exits.
