Passing win32 socket handle to .net application possible?

[mlc]

I have a server (in win32 C++, TCP) that listens and accepts socket calls,
then via CreateProcess and handle inheritence over the command line starts
up a process to handle the client request. Is there any way I can write a C#
application that can also handle the client request from a open handle from
a win32 process in a like manner? (No, I can't rewrite the server in C#, or
change it in any fundmental way, I can however replace the request handling
program and a small amount of the server code)

Is this possible and how to do it?

Thanks,

Mark

You can make the calls directly to Winsock yourself. While you dont state it
the inherited handle is a socket handle I assume?

Or are you wanting to somehow pass that handle to the System.Net.Classes?

It is a socket handle. I would idealy like to goto to System.Net rather than
make unmanged code calls. However the passing part is what has stopped me.
