InterProcess Communication, .Net to C++ communication

[batista]

Hello all,

I need suggestions and possibly solutions to the problem stated below:

I have an application written purely in .NET ( Windows Form
Application) and another application that is supposed to be written in
MFC(Visual C++) or Win32 GUI Application. The problem is to communicate
data between the two applications.

for example,

If i click a button in .NET GUI application, the data(some text) shuld
be sent to the VC++ GUI application.

Both the .NET and VC++ application will run on the same PC. One option
that seems applicable is to use sockets for data communication between
the two applications. But since both application will run on the same
PC, I thought if there were some other faster options available. Like
interprocess communication etc.

Need ur thought on this.

Thanks
Cheers...

Bye

Check out this article about using IPC between managed C# and unmanaged
C++
