NamedPipeServerStream C# proper usage - I keep getting IOExceptions
I've been searching for a while but it seems to be difficult to find any definite answers on how to recover from exceptions thrown by calling NamedPipeServerStream.BeginWaitForConnection.

How do I read a FIFO/named pipe line by line from a C++/Qt Linux app?
Hi How do I read a FIFO/named pipe line by line from a C++/Qt Linux app? Today I can open and read from a fifo from a Qt program, but I can't get the program to read the data line by line.

Problem using WCF and NetNamedPipeBinding for IPC
I'm trying to learn WCF to use it as an IPC mechanism for a host/plugin system. The host needs to be able to call the plugin to Start/Stop it, and the plugin needs to call the server back to perform logging.

HttpWebRequest support for named pipes?
To all the .NET experts, I have a question for you. I need to do SOAP/HTTP over named pipes on Windows, in C#. (This is for a client talking to a Python library/server using SOAP for RPC. Using socket/port was deemed both insecure, and port configuration becomes a hassle.) There are two problems. There is an HttpWebRequest class,...

I'm writing a graphical URI handler for git:// links with bash and zenity, and I'm using a zenity 'text-info' dialog to show git's clone output while it's running, using FIFO piping. The script is about 90 lines long, so I won't bother posting it here, but here's the most important lines: git clone "$1" "$target" 2>&1 | cat >> /tmp/gith...
How to lower integrity of WCF named pipe
I have an Internet Explorer add-in, written in C#, which talks via a WCF named-pipe to a .NET desktop application. The desktop app creates the ServiceHost for the netNamedPipeBinding, and each instance of the IE add-in creates a ChannelFactory to talk to the app. Everything works fine under Windows XP, but an exception is thrown under ...
