Method to continuously read and display data in a file as it is updated

2
My c# program is continuously updating a file and my c program is reading it.But my c program picks up the data from the file to the point when it is started. While the c# program is modifying the file even when the c program reads the file. So i need a method where the c program simultaneously reads and displays the data in the file as it is updated by the c# program. Please help.

This is called inter-process communication. There are several standard methods of synchronizing access to the file.

Being that you're using C# I suspect you're working in Windows so this article seems relevant. You can drill into it to get more details.
