What is the lightest IPC solution between native C/C++ and C# (.NET)?

Question

I have a native C++ Visual Studio 2010 solution and I would like to send data to a .NET app (C# WPF) Is there any way to do this with a few line of C/C++ code? I do not want to use external dependencies on C/C++ side. Is there any sample code out there about this?

More info: The C/C++ native app is really an npapi dll which loads into chrome.exe process. I don't think this is important, pls confirm.

Answer 1

It sounds like you could use named pipes to communicate between the processes.

This question should help to point you in the right direction.
