Urgent

[razzaj]

I am looking for a way to make 2 Executables Communicate passing parameters back and forth (on the same machine ) without having to use winsock or Pipes nor MailSlots.


What I am trying to do is simple . I have a DLL that contains a set of functions (it is a COM ) . Now because I have An ATL ActiveX I cant put it in the COM ( and the COM is called from ASP).

I am putting the ATL on an EXE comtainer (form) and i want the ASP to invoke a function in My COM which will send a parameter to the EXE that is RUnning always ( kind of like a server ) and the EXE will return another value to the COM which will be passed back to the ASP page ....


FeedBack is Greatly Appreciated

I think you should stop the program that is running constantly and only call it from within the COM object - using the shell command - when that program is finished it should create a file or folder to let the COM object know that it has finished.

Does this help??

No Because Many Requests might Come in at the same time and I dont want to have EXEs popping up all around , and even if they did nt pop (invisible) they will definitelly Eat up all my Servers' resources.
THat is why I have to have one Server Application the Handles all the Requests, even if it has to queue them it doesnt really matter.

Thanks anyway
