The PipeStream class provides the base class for named and anonymous pipes operations in the .NET Framework. Use the NamedPipeServerStream and NamedPipeClientStream classes for named pipe operations. Use the AnonymousPipeServerStream and AnonymousPipeClientStream classes for anonymous pipe operations.
For more information about pipes, see Pipe Operations in the .NET Framework. For an example of anonymous pipes, see How to: Use Anonymous Pipes for Local Interprocess Communication. For an example of named pipes, see How to: Use Named Pipes for Network Interprocess Communication.
for full trust for inheritors. This class cannot be inherited by partially trusted code.
