Hi X.Static,

There is no way to call functions in a random exe. This is just the way executables have been designed, it could cause plenty of trouble if any exe could call into any other.

In order for two executables to communicate they have to be designed that way from scratch.

You can
(a) Create a COM Exe, its exposed functions can be called by another Exe
(b) Have one exe write to a port while another reads from it and executes the commands received from the other exe
(c) Have one exe write to a file (not very sophisticated but completely feasible) while another reads from it and executes commands accordingly.

Regards,
D.V.

Question: Is there a way to call a native .exe (MFC in this case, and I don't have the source for the app) from managed code? I'm writing a managed winforms app and I need to wrap up the functionality of a standalone .exe in my project.

thanks.
