Hi,

Is there a concept of shared named memory in .NET to allow multiple program
use the name and then set/retrieve values?

Thank you,
Alan
 
Alan,

No, not really. You should be using remoting and a singleton for
something like this (with a named pipe channel).

Hope this helps.
 
You are most likely referring to MemoryMapped Files, which in done through
P/invoke to the MapViewOfFile and related APIs. You can find several good C#
implementations of this.

Why not to use Shared Property Manager (SharedPropertyGroupManager,
SharedPropertyGroup, and SharedProperty) for this reason?
But it's available with the assembly System.EnterpriseServices

AFAIK there is no built-in mechanism for this...

To use shared memory you can use memory mapped files ( mmf ), where file name will be the name of the shared memory.

Well, the reason for this is because it is only really applicable for
COM+ applications. Applications outside of COM+ are not able to use it.
 
Thank you for help.

Do you know any sample that shows me how to use Memory Mapped files in C#?

Thank you,
Max
