You shouldn't need to use sockets ( what if there is no IP stack) , .NET object are COM/COM+ objects which are very advanced forms of IPC.
For more info see the Microsoft.ComServices namespace , here is a start. http://www.csharphelp.com/archives/archive116.html. Disclaimer I am no expert on this , but Word and Excel have been using this since office was first released (COM was an enhancement of DDE) which is way before network stacks became common. Ben PS : On Unix people often use sockets as is easy...same for java , the recomendation is generally to use sockets for communicating to a process on the same machine to avoid the hassle and overhead of Corba / RMI . It is the same in .NET ,setting up remoting using sockets is trivial . > -----Original Message----- > From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics. > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Shawn A.
