c++ / c# Problem in named pipe

This is my c++ code

HANDLE hPipe = ::CreateNamedPipe(_T("\\\\.\\pipe\\FirstPipe"),
                                 PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX,
                                 PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE | PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE,
                                 PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES,
                                 4096,
                                 4096,
                                 0,
                                 NULL);

ConnectNamedPipe(hPipe, NULL);

DWORD bytesWritten = 0;
WriteFile(hPipe, lpBuffers, sizeof(LPWSABUF), &bytesWritten, NULL);//LPWSABUF is structure and lpBuffers is a variable of this structure

This is my C# code

uint dataLen = (uint)(br.ReadInt32());
string len = (dataLen).ToString();
listBox1.Items.Add(len);                        
IntPtr dataAdd = IntPtr.Zero;
string data = "";
if (IntPtr.Size == 4) dataAdd = (IntPtr)br.ReadInt32(); //ERROR
else dataAdd = (IntPtr)br.ReadInt64();
byte[] b = new byte[(int)dataLen];
Marshal.Copy(b, 0, dataAdd, (int)dataLen);
data = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(b);
listBox2.Items.Add(data);

In sixth line of C# code giving error. That End of the stream. I dont have any idea why it is giving error.

Here is the structure 

typedef struct _WSABUF {
    ULONG len;     /* the length of the buffer */
    __field_bcount(len) CHAR FAR *buf; /* the pointer to the buffer */
}  WSABUF, FAR * LPWSABUF;

simply you have reached end of stream so end of stream exception is thrown. If it's the first read command from file then your file is empty

LPWSABUF is pointer, its size is 32 or 64 bit. Possibly you mean this:

WriteFile(hPipe, lpBuffers, sizeof(WSABUF), &bytesWritten, NULL);
