Problems with named pipes

Aleksey Filippov

Hello!

I'm new to programming using named pipes and threads.

I've got two applications: WPF client and Console server. Server sends some string data each second with use of NamedPipeServerStream presented as private member of Main method shell class. WPF client application establishes connection with server when specialized button is pressed. But when I press it again client application goes nuts. I'm not quite sure what to do next. Can anyone help.

I have tried to use named pipes. It works for me but then when I tried to do the same thing in a real program, it did not work. I forget the details. I am also not familiar with WPF but I assume named pipes are the same using forms as when using WPF. If you have a more specific question then I will try to help.

I think there is as sample in the Visual Studio Gallery.
