Data exchange between two executables

[Arun]

I have two vb.net applications running on the same machine, App1.exe and
App2.exe.
On the click of a button in App1.exe, can I retrieve a value from a textbox
in App2.exe?

TIA

Remoting is the right way to go when making cross-process calls (of course,
you might be able to implement some kind of "hack" to retrieve data directly
from the textbox but I don't recommend it).

This will get you started on remoting:

Hi Arun,

I dont think its possible to get Textbox value which is in a different
application ..exe file.

But what you can do is in App1.exe write code to write the textbox value to
an XML file and then read the value from XML file from the App2.exe.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks
Raghavendra

Remoting or sockets.

You can exchange data between two .NET app domains (for 2 exe apps) only via
Remoting or Web Services. Remoting would be the best solution.
