Answer 1

You can do this is a number of ways, so just to name a few:

• Shared files
• A common database
• Remoting
• Sockets
• WCF

so you probably have to be a bit more specific. What are you trying to accomplish?

Answer 2

With program A:
Create a file.
Write your data in it
Close the file

---

With program B:
While(file_in_use or empty) wait
Open the file
Read the data you need
Close the file

---

There is probably a better way to do this. Perhaps with sockets? This is just the only one I am remembering since I just woke up.

Answer 3

Hello, Remoting is what you need to be looking into though be aware that this strategy does differ in functionality between .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0+.
