Hello,

I have two applications, one c# and another c++. I want the c# one to
run the c++ application and sends message (ex. string ... certain data
needed to initialize the c++ application) to it.

Please, help me... how to implement that in both sides (C# sends
message & C++ receives it)

Any thoughts, ideas, advice will be highly appreciated. :-)
Thanks!

It would be easier if both apps were C# or both were C++. I'd
recommend making them both C++ if possible. If changing the
configuration isn't an option, you can still do what you want,
but a Corba-like solution will probably be more complicated and
fragile.

Hi,

Maybe you can think of pipe or socket? Just open a pipr/socket on the
C# side and write data into it and then open that pipe/socket on the C+
+ side and read data from it.

Wish it is helpful for you!

Best Regards,
Tony

This really has absolutely nothing to do with C# or C++. It's about
inter-process communication.

See

Thanks both of you!
I used the Process & StartInfo in c# and sent data in arguments using
the command line to c++.

Although it might not be the best solution, it fits in my case ...
very simple. :-)
