Hi, i contact support customers and they told me:

Unity deliberately removes some of the less commonly-used classes from the Mono library to reduce the memory and storage requirements of the game. In the Player Settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Player) you will find a setting called API Compatibility Level in the Other Settings panel. If you set this to .NET 2.0 instead of .NET 2.0 Subset, you will get all the Mono classes that Unity implements. As the Answers poster says, the Pipes class is implemented in Unity, so you should be OK after you change this setting.

Regards, Andy Stark.

i follow this istruction and working for me :)

Check out the MonoCompatibility page. As you can see the System.IO.Pipes namespace is supported, but you might have the wrong .NET configuration or you try to build for a not supported platform.
