Getting two apps to "talk" to each other

[tsb5270]

I am new to VB.NET. I have a client who wants two applications, both of which must be written in Vb.NET, and each must have the ability to communicate with the other. Application1 will call Application2. If it isn't running, it will open it. Then Application1 will pass several parameters to Application2. Application2 will do something, then pass some information back to Application1. Normally I would be writing this in Delphi and add an automation object to each application, but the client specifically wants VB.NET. So how does one accomplish this in .NET? Remember, I am very new to .NET, so be gentle. Code examples would be awesome!!

I am a newbie to dot net myself but my gut reaction is that you might not be able to do this directly. You can use indirect communication such as MSMQ or even through database calls. In the meantime I'm just listening for a guru's response to this question.

Interprocess communication canbe accomplished in many different ways. Take a look at your options here:
