Hi,
in my project there is some places where one exe want communicate with other exe.

Current approch:-
first exe data into text file on other exe read.
Not bad idea but if any missing in file writting or reading i got assertion.

to avoid that i want some mechanism so that ione exe can communicate with directly.

NOTE:-
I dons't want to use sockets.

If you want to tell us "I don't want...", you better solve the problem on your own. Sockets is one of the best IPC approaches.

There are other methods, but... Who would be interested to spend any time helping you, if you might say "I don't want..." again? You should motivate such things if you really need any help.

So you are on windows-

Try any of these.

Clipboard

DDE

Well Data Copy^ and Pipe^ would be easy options.
