Communicate from a C++ DLL to a running C# programm

I just implemented a C++ DLL into Metatrader 4.

In this DLL, a function is occasionally called by Metatrader. This function gets values from Metatrader and should pass it a C# program which is already running.

What's the proper way to do this?

Thank you for your help!

The topic you're looking for is IPC, Interprocess Communication. MSDN has a guide on the subject: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365574(v=vs.85).aspx

To copy their list of methods,

  • Clipboard
  • COM
  • Data Copy
  • DDE
  • File Mapping
  • Mailslots
  • Pipes
  • RPC
  • Windows Sockets
