Mailslot Names
When a process creates a mailslot, the mailslot name must have the following
form.
\\.\mailslot\[path]name
A mailslot name requires the following elements: two backslashes to begin the
name, a period, a backslash following the period, the word mailslot, and a trailing backslash. Case, however, is not important. A mailslot name
can be preceded by a path consisting of the names of one or more
pseudodirectories, separated by backslashes. For example, if a user expects messages on the
subject of taxes from Bob, Pete, and Sue, the user's mailslot application might
allow the user to create individual mailslots for each sender.
\\.\mailslot\taxes\bobs_comments
\\.\mailslot\taxes\petes_comments
\\.\mailslot\taxes\sues_comments
To put a message into a mailslot, a process opens a mailslot whose name is in
one of several forms. To write to a mailslot on the local computer, a process
can use a mailslot name using the same form required for creating a mailslot.
This situation, however, is relatively uncommon. More frequently, a process uses
the following form to write to a mailslot on a specific remote computer.
\\computername\mailslot\[path]name
The following form allows a process to put a message into every mailslot in
the specified domain that has the given name.
\\domainname\mailslot\[path]name
To put a message into every mailslot with a given name in the system's primary
domain, a process uses the following form.
\\*\mailslot\[path]name

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
