What the title says, really.

I have a named pipe. I would like to attempt a read, but if it doesn't succeed after a timeout I'd like to still be able to use the pipe afterwards.

Is this possible with NamedPipeServerStream, or do I have to rethink the entire approach?

So far the only way I've found of cancelling a BeginRead is by disposing of the pipe.
