SendMessage or Alternative for IPC?

Author	Message
Stev #1 / 4	SendMessage or Alternative for IPC? I am looking for good ideas on how to do cross-executable communication. All executables are C#. The parent .exe launches n number of child .exes, and the parent should be able to send messages to any of the children, and any child should be able to send messages to the parent (but not to other children). If this was VB or VFP, I would use the Win32API and SendMessage or count Mutexes or etc. How would I do this same kind of thing C# in .NET? Thanks.

Jonathan Schafe #2 / 4	SendMessage or Alternative for IPC? A few choices... 1. Use SendMessage via p/Invoke by DllImport the SendMessage API 2. Use .NET Remoting to establish a remotable object in both the parent and child exe's. 3. Use the TCPListener class to create a TCP channel between the applications and send data between the applications over the channel.

Stev #3 / 4	SendMessage or Alternative for IPC? Thanks, I think remoting is the move, since I will have n child .exe's running and having to keep a table of TCP ports on the box would be a mess. Can you recommend any good "remoting jump start" documents? I understand what it is, but that's it, not how to make it happen.... Thanks again.

Jonathan Schafe #4 / 4	SendMessage or Alternative for IPC? Nothing specific. There are remoting examples with .NET. You can aslo check out c-sharpcorner.com and gotdotnet.com for examples.
