C# and COM

[Joe]

Hello,
I have to create an interface to allow another application to communicate
with ours. I'm thinking of adding a COM interface into our exe to allow this
but I'm not sure this is the best way to go.

The other application needs to be able to launch ours, send it some data and
call some configuration methods.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Joe

Hello Joe and Christopher,

I agree with Christopher's idea. .NET Remoting can help us do the
out-of-proc call from .NET to .NET. Another solution is to use DCOM.

See how to write a DCOM server in C#:

and how to consume the DCOM server in a C# client:
