IPC with non-interactive service

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm developing a non-interactive C++ windows service (as support for
interactive services will run out...) that shall communicate with a .net
application on the local host. What's the best way this can be done?
I've thought of window messages (by FindWindow, SendMessage, etc.) - but
this requires the 'interactive' flag to be set....

Best wishes,

Andreas

Andreas,

You can find some IPC mechanism options here

Named pipes and sockets are quite common choices.
