You can't actually share the "memory" because two .NET applications would
each be runnning in a separate AppDomain. However, you can use techniques
such as Memory Mapped Files or Named Pipes to "share" communication or data
between processes.

You can map to a shared memory section using Win32 API
and copy to and from it using the Marshal class.

It should be noted that CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile does
not require a separate file (by using -1 as file handle it gets
mapped to the pagefile).
