Is it possible to cancel the BeginRead on the NamedPipeServerStream without closing the pipe?

What the title says, really.

I have a named pipe. I would like to try to read, but if it fails after the timeout, I would still be able to use this channel later.

Is this possible with NamedPipeServerStream

, or do I need to rethink the whole approach?

So far, the only way to cancel BeginRead

is to remove it from the channel.

For the record, I couldn't find a way. I am still canceling a read that takes too long to get rid of the thread, which means it cannot be used afterwards.

BeginRead

returns IAsyncResult

commits this to the scope of the class.

Then, create a timer with the required timeout, in the callback method call EndRead

, passing IAsyncResult

in the returned from the initial one BeginRead

.



Edit: I am doing some research and the best solution I have found is to get rid of the ServerStream (which does destroy the Pipe itself).
