Any video tutorials for Named Pipes?

Question

Hello,

Can someone point me to a video that teaches how to use named pipes in C# (.Net framework 3.5)?

Thank you

I am not sure what's the context you are using NamedPipes communication for. But because you are using .Net 3.5 already, I would suggest using a WCF service to set up this communication, expose operation contracts that do the job and set the bindings to netNamedPipesBinding in the config.

Important thing is you can expose multiple endpoints with different types of bindings that use the same service methods.

You could host the service in a Windows Service service host, and it works really well.
