System.IO.Pipes Namespace

Contains types that provide a means for interprocess communication through anonymous and/or named pipes.

Classes

AnonymousPipeClientStream	Exposes the client side of an anonymous pipe stream, which supports both synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations (without cancellation support on Windows platforms).
AnonymousPipeServerStream	Exposes a stream around an anonymous pipe, which supports both synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations.
AnonymousPipeServerStreamAcl	Provides security related APIs for the AnonymousPipeServerStream class.
NamedPipeClientStream	Exposes a Stream around a named pipe, which supports both synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations.
NamedPipeServerStream	Exposes a Stream around a named pipe, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations.
NamedPipeServerStreamAcl	Provides security related APIs for the NamedPipeServerStream class.
PipeAccessRule	Represents an abstraction of an access control entry (ACE) that defines an access rule for a pipe.
PipeAuditRule	Represents an abstraction of an access control entry (ACE) that defines an audit rule for a pipe.
PipesAclExtensions	Provides Windows-specific static extension methods for manipulating Access Control List (ACL) security attributes for pipe streams.
PipeSecurity	Represents the access control and audit security for a pipe.
PipeStream	Exposes a Stream object around a pipe, which supports both anonymous and named pipes.

Enums

PipeAccessRights	Defines the access rights to use when you create access and audit rules.
PipeDirection	Specifies the direction of the pipe.
PipeOptions	Provides options for creating a PipeStream object. This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
PipeTransmissionMode	Specifies the transmission mode of the pipe.

Delegates
