AnonymousPipeClientStream.TransmissionMode Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.IO.Pipes

Assembly:

System.IO.Pipes.dll

Source:

AnonymousPipeClientStream.cs

Gets the pipe transmission mode supported by the current pipe.

public:
 virtual property System::IO::Pipes::PipeTransmissionMode TransmissionMode { System::IO::Pipes::PipeTransmissionMode get(); };

public override System.IO.Pipes.PipeTransmissionMode TransmissionMode { get; }

member this.TransmissionMode : System.IO.Pipes.PipeTransmissionMode

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property TransmissionMode As PipeTransmissionMode

Property Value

PipeTransmissionMode

The PipeTransmissionMode supported by the current pipe.

Examples

The following example sends a string from a parent process to a child process by using anonymous pipes. In this example, an AnonymousPipeClientStream object is created in a child process and the TransmissionMode is displayed to the console.

Remarks

Anonymous pipes do not support PipeTransmissionMode.Message read mode. Because the default value of this property is PipeTransmissionMode.Byte, there is never a reason to set this property in your code.
