Program communication

[Null]

Hi,I want to know how can two or more programs communicate each other. Can you recommend a site with a tutorial? Also, is it possible to make programs communicate on the same computer and over network using the same code?

I don't know how you would do this in Windows (maybe send window messages or something), but yes you can use the same code to have programs communicate on the same computer/over a network. (I'm assuming you are talking about some client/server type programs).

Should I use pipes or sockets? Anyway, thanks Grey Wolf.

I'd suggest sockets rather than named pipes.
