    DDE Links

    I use a financial system that provides data via DDE links. I'm currently
    using the links in Excel but I'd like to pull these links into a vb.net 2003
    application so that I can do some more advanced calculations on the
    resulting data. Can DDE links be integrated into my .net application? Is
    there a component out there that facilitates this, or a sample application
    that demonstrates it?

    Thanks!

      Re: DDE Links

      Officially DDE is not supported in .Net

      However there are lots of examples outtta there that show that it is
      actually possible to use DDE in .Net

      http://www.ozemail.com.au/~markhurd/vbnetdde.zip


      http://custom.programming-in.net/articles/art9-1.asp?f=DdeGetData


      Personally i would never provide a DDE interface in one of my deployment
      applications, however if it is you that needs to connect to an legacy
      application where the provider is not willing to upgrade his interface to a
      non obsolete interface you have no other choice i guess .....

      In my previous job i worked as a catalogue programmer ( automotive ) my
      newly developed .Net catalogue programs had a COM , Remoting and web
      service interface so they could comunicate to any platform .

          Jesse,

          I maintain an open source library for using DDE in .NET. It can be
          found at the following link.
