    <p>I have two threads. One threads reads requests and passes it to server using message queue and other thread reads the response from message queue and sends it back. In the same process the caller class method writes the request on the pipe (using the server pipe stream shared by first thread) and then reads the response using the client pipe stream shared by the second thread. This can be easily done using Java PipeInputStream and PipeOutputStream as follows. Essentially I am looking for equivalent of following Java logic in C#. I tried unsuccessfully using anonymous pipes in C#. </p> <h2>RequestHandlerThread (Thread1 as mentioned above)</h2> <pre><code>out = new PipedOutputStream(); readPipeIs = new PipedInputStream(out); readDataIs = new DataInputStream(readPipeIs); // read data from readDataIs // Send it to server over message queue // Share 'out' so that other class method can write to it. </code></pre> <h2>Response Handler (Thread 2 as mentioned above)</h2> <pre><code>in = new PipedInputStream(); writePipeOs = new PipedOutputStream(in); writeDataOs = new DataOutputStream(writePipeOs); // Wait and read from message queue // write received data to 'writeDataOs' // Share 'in' so that other class method can read from it. </code></pre> <p>I am not sure if C# pipes are restricted for communicating between two processes. All the above logic is in same process just that there are two threads to communicate with message server.</p> <p>I tried pair of AnonymousPipeServerStream and AnonymousPipeClientStream pair in both threads. I shared the server stream for writing and client stream for reading by other class method. </p> <p>Any obvious flaw in above logic or any suggestions with choice of IPC ? </p> <p>Adding source code Here is the Test class</p> <pre><code>class Test { private static byte[] ret; private static bool ready; Stream outStream; Stream inStream; private void clientConnReqHandler() { AnonymousPipeServerStream pipeServer = new AnonymousPipeServerStream(PipeDirection.Out); outStream = pipeServer; string pipeHandle = pipeServer.GetClientHandleAsString(); AnonymousPipeClientStream pipeClient = new AnonymousPipeClientStream(PipeDirection.In, pipeHandle); pipeServer.DisposeLocalCopyOfClientHandle(); ready = false; BinaryReader binReader = new BinaryReader(pipeClient); int mesgSize = binReader.ReadInt32(); System.Console.WriteLine("Message Lenght To read: " + mesgSize); byte[] buffer = binReader.ReadBytes(mesgSize); System.Console.WriteLine("Message read: " + buffer.ToString()); // Simulate some processing Thread.Sleep(5000); mesgProcessing(buffer); } private static void mesgProcessing(byte[] buffer) { System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding(); byte[] extra = encoding.GetBytes("Echo : "); ret = new byte[buffer.Length + extra.Length]; System.Buffer.BlockCopy(extra, 0, ret, 0, extra.Length); System.Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer, 0, ret, extra.Length, buffer.Length); ready = true; } private void clientConnRespHandler() { AnonymousPipeServerStream pipeServer = new AnonymousPipeServerStream(PipeDirection.Out); string pipeHandle = pipeServer.GetClientHandleAsString(); AnonymousPipeClientStream pipeClient = new AnonymousPipeClientStream(PipeDirection.In, pipeHandle); inStream = pipeClient; pipeServer.DisposeLocalCopyOfClientHandle(); while (ready) { BinaryWriter binWriter = new BinaryWriter(pipeServer); binWriter.Write(ret.Length); binWriter.Write(ret); ready = false; } } public static void Main() { Test setup = new Test(); setup.threadTest(); Test2 threadTest = new Test2(); // This method will do actuall read and write. threadTest.runTest(setup.inStream, setup.outStream); } public void threadTest() { Thread reqHandlerThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(clientConnReqHandler)); Thread respHandlerThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(clientConnRespHandler)); reqHandlerThread.Start(); respHandlerThread.Start(); } } </code></pre> <p>The class that does read/write:</p> <pre><code>class Test2 { internal void runTest(System.IO.Stream inStream, System.IO.Stream outStream) { BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(outStream); System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding(); byte[] mesg = encoding.GetBytes("Hello World!!!"); writer.Write(mesg.Length); writer.Write(mesg); BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(inStream); int mesgSize = reader.ReadInt32(); System.Console.WriteLine("Message Lenght To read: " + mesgSize); byte[] buffer = reader.ReadBytes(mesgSize); System.Console.WriteLine("Message read: " + buffer.ToString()); } } </code></pre> <p>thanks</p>

    1. COYou should be able to use pipes from C# as you described. You say you tried unsuccessfully. You'll have to show us your code if you want help finding and fixing the problem.

    3. COOK. It worked after getting rid of DisposeLocalCopyOfClientHandle(). Of course had to fix some new-by mistakes of while loop condition to check if the data is ready and printing the string correctly from byte array.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
