IPC Examples in VB.net?

[Viet]

Is there any Inter-process Communication examples out there in VB.NET?
Specifically, I have app1 that executes app2 as a process and I would like
to have app2 display messages in a status bar in app1. I understand that IPC
is an option to successfully execute this.

TIA!
Jonathan

This question was asked less than a week ago in this newsgroup, but I cannot
remember the subject, so, I am unable to point you to that answer

There are many different IPC mechanisms like named pipes, socket
communication, .NET remoting, and 'WM_COPYDATA', just to give you some
keywords.

What kind of IPC are you looking for? Sockets are one method, remoting
another. There are other methods - such as wm_copydata using p/invoke.
Give some more info, and someone might be able to help.

I found a link at http://freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=650 that solves my
issue. I had to convert the code from vb6 to vb.net to make it work. I
didn't know that there were so many ways to implement IPC but apparently
message-hooking works for me.

Thanks for your help, guys!
