NamedPipeMessage 3.2.0.18

The easiest way to consume this library is to use NamedPipeClient and NamedPipeServer

Pipe Message is used to construct message chains between NamedPipeClientStream and NamedPipeServerStream

Client Example

using NamedPipeClientStream pipeClient = new(".", "testpipe", PipeDirection.InOut);

if (new NamedPipeHandshakeClient(pipeClient).Client(sharedSecret))
{
    return new NamedPipeMessage(pipeClient).WriteStringWaitForRead(dataForServer) == "Success";
}

Server Example

NamedPipeServerStream _pipeServer = new NamedPipeServerStream("testpipe", PipeDirection.InOut, 1, PipeTransmissionMode.Message, PipeOptions.WriteThrough);

NamedPipeHandshakeServer _pipeHandshake = new(_pipeServer);

string clientResponse = _pipeHandshake.Server(sharedSecret);

if (clientResponse != null)
{
    new NamedPipeMessage(_pipeServer).WriteString("Success");
}

Named Pipe Message

Used Internally by NamedPipeClient and NamedPipeServer

WaitForRead()

Wait for the other end of the pipe to send a message

This will timeout and return null after 60 seconds if the other end does not send anything

The timeout can be changed with PipeApplicationGlobals.SetTimeoutMs(500);

new NamedPipeMessage(pipeServer).WaitForRead()

WriteStringWaitForRead(string data)

Send a message and wait for the other end of the pipe to send a message back

This will timeout and return null after 60 seconds if the other end does not send anything

The timeout can be changed with PipeApplicationGlobals.SetTimeoutMs(500);

new NamedPipeMessage(pipeClient).WriteStringWaitForRead(sharedSecret + "/-\\" + pipeName)

TryReadString()

Try read a string from the underlying Stream

clientData = TryReadString()

WriteString(string data)

Write a data string to the underlying Stream

new NamedPipeMessage(pipeServer).WriteString("Success")

NamedPipeHandshakeClient

Used by the NamedPipeClient to validate the shared secret from the NamedPipeServer

new NamedPipeHandshakeClient(pipeClient).Client(sharedSecret)

NamedPipeHandshakeServer

Used by the NamedPipeServer to validate the shared secret from the NamedPipeClient

new NamedPipeHandshakeServer(pipeServer).Server(sharedSecret)
