I have two programs (server / client) I'm trying to configure IPC for them (they both work in the same window) Using System.IO.Pipes and Net 3.5
When I call ComOpen, it correctly opens the handset, sends the process identifier to the server, but then the panel closes, and I get an error message when I try to send a "Test of the second record"
So there is a question. How to keep a tube open for life of the program? (I use the process identifier on the server to close everything if the client fails)
private static StreamWriter MyWriter;
private static StreamReader MyReader;
private static NamedPipeClientStream IPCPipe = new NamedPipeClientStream(".", "MyPipe", PipeDirection.InOut);
public static bool MyWrite(string DataOut)
{
bool ValidPipeOut = false;
if(ValidComPort)
try
{
using (QstWriter = new StreamWriter(IPCPipe))
{
QstWriter.AutoFlush = true;
QstWriter.WriteLine(QstDataOut);
QstWriter.Close();
QstWriter.Dispose();
}
ValidPipeOut = true;
}
catch
{
ValidPipeOut = false;
}
return ValidPipeOut;
}
public static bool ComOpen()
{
ValidComPort = true;
try { IPCPipe.Connect(1000); }
catch (Exception ex)
{
string Erroris;
Erroris = ex.Message;
if (Erroris == "Already in a connected state.")
{
ValidComPort = true;
}
else
{
ValidComPort = false;
MessageBox.Show(Erroris);
}
}
if (ValidComPort)
{
string ClientProcessID = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id.ToString();
MyReader = new StreamReader(IPCPipe);
ValidComPort = MyWrite(ClientProcessID);
ValidComPort = MyWrite("Second Write Test");
}
return ValidComPort;
}
