My next question is at what point can I register event listeners, so that I can tell when the pipe connection has been severed? I noticed that I can get the service manager from the XComponentContext, at which point I can query for the XComponent interface and add event listeners. If I do so, will I get events from the pipe connection or something else? Thanks in advance, Jason
