Interprocess communication between a 2 applications.

Question

Hi,

I would like to transfer information between 2 process and the data that I pass between these 2 processes are COM visible types. What is the best way I can use to transfer information between these to processes. I know, we could do it using Named Pipes but not sure if we could transfer types using this. Can someone suggest me to a good resource that I can look into to perform this.

Regards

From what I can tell you are looking to transfer objects between applications. You may want to look into .NET Remoting. The purpose of the remoting API is to allow access to types from outside of the AppDomain or process in which they are created including accessing objects on remote hosts.
