Named Pipes Problem

Hi,

I have a VB6 application that allows a user to display an ASP.NET page in a WebBrowser control. When a user clicks on a link in the web page, I need to retrieve the text displayed in that link and send it back to my main VB6 app. I thought that named pipes would be the best way to implement this?

If I click on a link through the WebBrowser control in my VB application, the call to CreateNamedPipe in my ASP.NET page returns -1 with an error code of 231 (ERROR_PIPE_BUSY). However, if I run just the web page by itself outside of the application, CreateNamedPipe executes correctly and I can pass information down the pipe.

I'm also confused as to why I am getting the ERROR_PIPE_BUSY message on the call to CreateNamedPipe. Doesn't the pipe have to be created first before this error code gets returned?

Thx for any and all help.
