how to CallNamedPipe

Can any one tell me how can i make use of CallNamedPipe() and what the instances i have to create before using this funtion ...
Do i need to intitiate anything in the other to connect through this function??

I am facing this error when i have given the below path in local machine

path i am using: \\\\inawap03\\pipe\\OpenDwg
Error:

\\\\inawap03\\pipe\\OpenDwg
The Networkpath was not found.

I think the problem is on client side. When the pipe is not created on server side the error is different:

Code:

---

C:\Temp\named_pipe_in_service>pc.exe 192.168.55.236
Could not open pipe (2)

C:\Temp\named_pipe_in_service>net helpmsg 2

The system cannot find the file specified.

In your case this is a network path not found, which most probably means the client side is not able to resolve host name to IP address.

Code:

---

C:\Temp\named_pipe_in_service>pc.exe ivartanov-bla-bla
Could not open pipe (53)

C:\Temp\named_pipe_in_service>net helpmsg 53

The network path was not found.
