How to communicate between processes? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: What is the best choice for .NET inter-process communication? [closed] 开发者_C百科 (8 answers) Closed 6 years ago.

I can come up only with serialization, using of WCF, etc. But is there the standard common way for communication between 2 processes in .Net?

UPDATE: What I actually mean how to communicate between 2 processes locally when I do not need to use WCF, Remoting and network at all. Are there some ways of doing it? And I am interesting in more elegant ways than storing data to HDD or to database.

With no other information, I would suggest using WCF with a named pipes configuration:

You can also look at .NET Remoting. But for all intents and purposes you shouldn't be using it unless you have explicit requirements that are satisfied by remoting like...in-process, cross-appdomain communication.

I would just look at WCF's NetNamedPipeBinding. It sounds like it's exactly what you want: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/wcfipcsample.aspx
