launching another C# application

I have two C# applications (Windows Forms). Both developed by myself. I want one application to launch the other and open a form related to a parameter passed from first application. If second application is already open, then I need only to open the form in second application and get it to front.

What you need to archieve this is
that your 2 c# applications support command line arguments
and are able to communicate together

Main() and Command-Line Arguments (C# Programming Guide)

Interprocess Communications
