I need to pass data between a vb6 app and a .net app. This data will either be written or read every second. It is about 30 fields. Both apps reside on the same machine. I am currently passing this data via the registry and it works great but it makes me a little nervous. I would do it with a text file but I am worried about data loss.
What is the best way to do this?
Common back end? Yes, the registry works, text file will work, but in a multi-user environment, you’re better off with a database (MS Access or SQL Server, for example.)
