Pipelining between PowerShell and C# ASP.NET

I'm having a hard time piping data from a PowerShell script into a C# program.

Thanks to this answer I was given, I've come up with a working solution for piping data between two PowerShell scripts(Sender.ps1 and Receiver.ps1).

The problem is, this script doesn't work when translated into C# code. Even if I invoke Receiver.ps1 in C# via the PowerShell class, it still doesn't work.

This answer to a similar question leads me to believe that the namespace for the pipes isn't the same, but when I tried adding Global to the beginning of each pipe it didn't do anything. Again, it works in the two .ps1's if I run as PowerShell scripts, but if I invoke one of the scripts from C#, or translate it directly into C#, it stops working altogether.

Does anyone know anything about namespaces and pipelining in Windows?

Sender.ps1: doesn't interact with C# program, other than sending data through the pipe

## Establish Pipe
  $pipe = New-Object System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream("Global\\.pipe\brokenPipe");
  $pipe.Connect();
  $stream = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($pipe);

## Communicate through Pipe
  SendStuff();

## Close Pipe
  $stream.Dispose();
  $pipe.Dispose();

Receiver.ps1: PowerShell program for reading from the pipe. Works if I right-click and run as PowerShell. Doesn't work if I invoke it via C#'s PowerShell, it just hangs at WaitForConnection(). The C# program is invoking the script correctly, I tested this with a dummy file full of information (which was read by C# correctly). For some reason, the pipe stops working when it's run via my C# Application

## Establish Pipe
  $pipe = new-object System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeServerStream("Global\\.pipe\brokenPipe");
  $pipe.WaitForConnection();
  $stream = new-object System.IO.StreamReader($pipe);

## Communicate through Pipe
  ReadStuff();

## Close Pipe
  $stream.Dispose();
  $pipe.Dispose();

C# Receiver Function: I made this as a substitute to PowerShell.Create(), and this doesn't work either (even though it's the exact same code as Receiver.ps1.

void PipeListener(){
## Establish Pipe
  var pipe = new System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeServerStream("Global\\.pipe\brokenPipe");
  pipe.WaitForConnection();
  var stream = new System.IO.StreamReader(pipe);

## Communicate through Pipe
  ReadStuff();

## Close Pipe
  stream.Dispose();
  pipe.Dispose();
}
