    Communicate between applications

    Hi,

    I need to transfer text (or maybe binary) data from one .net
    application to another .net application. What is the best way to do
    this since it's on the same computer and both application may run
    different .net framework version.

    In a completely different project/context i also need to transfers
    data between 2 applications, but this time one is a .net application
    and the other is a Win32 application.

    In both cases I dont want to use win32 SendMessage.

    Thanks for suggestion or examples!

      Hi,

      in your scenario where you run different .net frameworks
      and even different runtimes or programming languages i
      would recommed the usage of sockets and/or some
      windows api supported IPC mechanism like pipes or
      shared memory. You said that you dont want to use
      SendMessage, so you wont get the chance to use
      something like WM_COPYDATA which is very fast
      and reliable on a single computer and if your work with
      windowed applications, but difficult to use when your
      application runs in different desktops stations or when
      running as service (this is also a different ds if you run
      it non interactive!)

      To be sure and use a reliable communication use TCP
      Sockets in your application, since this makes your applications
      also run cross-boundary like making it possible to run it
      on another machine over a network or even over the
      internet,....th ats what i recommend...

      But if you target the 3.5 NFW you can use WPF and
      all the new technologies to communicate between
      applications.

              Take a look at .NET Remoting, and IPC channels.
