Microsoft RPC supports the use of DCE pipes. Although they share a similar name, DCE pipes are unrelated to named pipes. Named pipes are a transport protocol. DCE pipes are a protocol-independent method of client/server communication.
This section presents a discussion of RPC using asynchronous DCE pipes. It is divided into the following topics:
- Asynchronous Pipes
- Declaring Asynchronous Pipes
- Client-side Asynchronous Pipe Handling
- Server-side Asynchronous Pipe Handling
For a sample asynchronous pipe RPC application, see the FileRep sample in the Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).
