sending parameter to a running application

[Eþref DURNA]

how could I send a parameter to a runing csharp windows application?

How about having a socket listener running in a seperate thread that accepts
values via a tcp connection. You could just have a text file that holds a
value that the app polls for the file being updated and reads the value out.

sendmessage( method
but could not be found a good example or any idea
the tcp and socket can couse problems and i think not a good solution

Hi,

What you need is called: Interprocess Communication ... (tips: Named Pipes,
Shared Memory)..

Or simpler, more flexible and useful, just use XML over TCP/IP sockets.

Odd that you think that, as millions of developers have used socket calls
between running applications practically since the dawn of computing.
Still, there are other approaches.

If you want to use sendmessage, look at pinvoke.net
