Hello,
What would be the best way to make 2 applications communicate :
- one written in VB6
- the other one in C#
Typical Scenario :
The VB6 application make calls to launch the C# app with arguments.
(typically a 'shell'), unfortunately, this may 'happen' a lot of time,
and the framework will keep loading/unloading each time...
So I would like to
- load the c# app at the launch of the vb6 app
- put the c# app in a kind of 'sleep mode'
- wake-up the c# app and send him some args to work with
- once the c# app finishes its work, it goes back into 'sleep mode'
- once the vb6 app closes, it should close before the c# app.
I would need to "formalize" :
- the way the 'sleep' mode could be implemented at the vb6 part
- the way to 'wake up' the vb6 app from the c# app
- the way the VB6 & C# app would communicate together
I need a 'common' IPC method that would be easily implementend both in
C# and in VB6.
Many solutions in C# : remoting, socket, named pipes, mails slots,
filesystem watcher, etc...
Less solutions in VB6 : no support for latest technologies, and more
effort to implement the 'old' ones though API calls.
All your comments are welcome...
Regards,
Cybertof.

Have you considered using COM+?
It is the technology of choice for distributed apps in VB6. It is easy to
implement in .NET via the EnterpriseServi ces namespace.
If you go this route, you could design your application so you don't have to
solve the sleep/wake-up issue. Instead you can leverage the COM+ surrogate
exe.

Hi !
Do you mean making my C# app a 'com+' app ?
Do you have any good links about COM+ with c# and vb6 ?

Hello,
I don't know if it is only me but I was sure that header("Location:url")
redirects the browser instantly to URL, or at least stops the execution of
the code. But appearantely it continues to execute the code until the
browser send his reply to the header instruction. So an exit(); after each
redirection won't hurt at all

The viewer can select states from the drop down lists above the other two

the viewer selects two states, two columns fill. Etc.

Hello,
I have two questions.
1. When the user presses the back button and returns to a form he filled
the form is reseted. How do I leave there the values he inserted?
2. When the user comes back to a page where he had a submitted POST data
the browser keeps telling that the data has expired and asks if repost. How
to avoid that? I tried registering all POST and GET vars as SESSION vars but

Hi All,
What is the PHP equivilent of Oracle bind variables in a SQL statement, e.g.
select x from y where z=:parameter
Which in asp/jsp would be followed by some statements to bind a value to :parameter
I dont like the idea of making the SQL statement on the fly without binding parameters as I
dont want a highly polluted SQL cache.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
