Share data between C++ and C# or VB (2 running program)

is there a way (other than network(i hate io-streams)) to communicate between 2 process? one in c++ and other one in C# or VB. my problem is, im writing a AVR program using c++, but for debugging purpose i need a GUI to test different inputs. since i donno anything about GUI in c++ ( and i have no plan to learn it), i want to write the GUI using .net and somehow connect it to my c++ code. since i have 2 running process i cant use p/invoke and other similar methods. If i could share my variables between 2 process or call a function in c# from c++ (from running process to running process), that would solve my problem. anything other than sockets?

What about databases? if you are using MS you can try MSSQL.

Its absolutely free for small databases i think :)

Since you mentioned .NET you probably on MS Windows. You may use DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange):

You can find .NET tutorial for it here:

If you want fast dummy solution that will work for you just for debugging not as real solution. You may share your data by writing them to the hard disk and reading it from it again. It is not hard neither complicated.
