Signaling between processes

I am converting some legacy code which will consist of 2
WinForm applications. In the legacy code Process A
signaled Process B using a named event (e.g. each process
attempts to Open the same named event, the first to fail
will do a Create on the named event from that point on
Process B will signal Process A by setting the named
event and Process B has a thread blocked on waiting for
the event which when fired will be immediately reset as
the thread executes the process being signaled). In
the .NET world (C#) what would be the most efficient way
to signal between two separate processes? It appears to
me that a mutex could be used (although I'm not clear on
how I'd implement the WaitFor and Release in each process
to indicate a signal from Process B to Process A); I
could send a window's message to Process A but this seems
like overkill since no data needs to be passed (the old
WM_COPYDATA); Is there a better solution to signaling
between processes that will always run on the same
machine (no need for Net Remoting)?
Thanks in advance for any help that may be offered on
solving this issue...
