here is the scenario:
I have windows service and "standard" windows forms applications. what kind
of methods there is to share data between those applications? Applications
will be in same machine, so any remoting is futile. Are there similar stuff
like shared memories in linux in .Net framework? I would like to chance just
some numeric data between applications and if possible send objects. How
could this be done?

Thanks for your efforts.

Best regards

On the contrary, remoting is exactly the ticket anytime you need to
communicate from one AppDomain to another.

Other options include MSMQ, sockets, HTTP etc.

You could also use DDE or shared memory. But, you'll need to look
into the Platform SDK and use Platform Invocation. Remoting is
probably the nicest way to go unless you need to work on lots of data
and need the extra performance that shared memory could give.

The extra perfonmance benefit from shared memory would be very nice. How can
I use those in VB.NET? Don't I need use kernel32 functions, how can I import
them in VB?

Thanks again
