Type or namespace name Pipes does not exist in the namespace System.IO.
I am trying to use the class System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream
but Unity cannot find it.
The build of the project works in Monodevelop but when I go over to Unity it says the following Assets/PipeClient.cs(5,17): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Pipes' does not exist in the namespace 'System.IO'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
I have changed the API compatbility Level in Unity to .NET 2.0 but to no avail. Do named pipes actually work in Unity?

The .NET documentation for this only goes back to .NET 3.5. It's likely that it isn't available in the version of Mono used by Unity.
