Passing data between C++ (MFC) app and C#

Question

We have a monolithic MFC GUI app that is nearing the end of it\'s life in C++. We are planning to build new functionality in C# and pass data between each app.

Answer 1

Personally I'd be thinking of using something like named pipes as they are easy to use from the C++ side and the System.IO.Pipes on the .NET side also.

It would also be the path of probably least resistance if you're planning to replace the other non .NET bits of the app over time.
