Hi,
I am trying to find a simple approach to share a simple data type (primitive) with two processes (two .exe files), but can’t work out. Any ideas are appreciated. Further, how to fire event across process

Thanks

Usually I would advise named pipes but I don't know if they are included
in the framework. How about System.Net.Sockets? Create a socket
connection between the two apps and send the data back and forth.
 
Hi fw,

Look at .NET Remoting

I guess remoting could work, but some overhead for this simple need. Memory
Mapped File (MMF) backed by swap file is ~easy to wrap in a class and then
just use a named mutex or event to sync the data.

No. But as I said, you can wrap a couple pinvoke apis and get things going.

Is there any managed support for MMF?
