On Windows, can I use named pipes as files?

I am creating a named pipe server with my .NET application and its name is "TSPipe". Then I open Notepad and try to save the file to "\. \ Pipe \ TSPipe". Then I want to be able to read what notepad wrote for this channel.

I am still developing common logic for a stream that processes NamedPipeServerStream, but here is my code for the pipe named server:

    public void PipeThread() {
        var sid = new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null);
        var rule = new PipeAccessRule(sid, PipeAccessRights.ReadWrite, AccessControlType.Allow);
        var sec = new PipeSecurity();

        sec.AddAccessRule(rule);

        while (continuePipeThread) {
            pipeStream = new NamedPipeServerStream("TSPipe", PipeDirection.In, 100, PipeTransmissionMode.Byte, PipeOptions.None, 0, 0, sec);

            Program.Output.PrintLine("Waiting for connection...");

            pipeStream.WaitForConnection();

            Program.Output.PrintLine("Connected, reading...");

            byte[] data = new byte[1024];
            int lenRead = 0;
            lenRead = pipeStream.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
            string line = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data, 0, lenRead);

            Program.Output.PrintLine(line);

            pipeStream.Close();
            pipeStream.Dispose();
        }
    }

Thanks in advance for any help, but I'll let you know if any of the suggestions helps!
