In the good old days of VB6 I used to use this technique to communnicate between programmes, without using external files. In fact I could even set off the textbox interupt in the running programme so as it could do something once triggered.
This being said, I can't get it working on dot net. Does any one have any idea on how to setup the same type of programme using dot net.

I think your best bet would be Named Pipes. If both processes are on the same computer you can use a simpler method, Anonymous Pipes.

Thanks for the reply. Looks good, but I could not get it to work. Not sure exactly how to use class's in this way, if it had been an example of say populating a text box, then I might have got it. I will endevour to try to learn.
