I want to be able to write into a Textbox from an application that is
already running, the window in the application with the text box I want to
write to is open and visible in the Task manager and on the start menu. How
do I go about writing an application that can communicate with this separate
form.

Interprocess communication in .NET is typically handled through remoting.

Here is a quick overview of remoting on msdn


http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/introremoting.asp

If you're interested in learning more about .NET remoting then I recommend
this book. It has a fairly good top to bottom discussion on Remoting. It
will take you through the basics and move into more complicated material.
