Lightwight inter-application communication

[albusmw]

Hi,

I have 4 .NET applications (VB, .NET 7.0 or higher).
What would be the easiest way to make the apps talk to each other, the data amount is very small (query a double number, set a string value, ...).
One of them is a telegram client, and I want to get information from the other apps via this main software - this is basically the task.

I could implement a client-server system, use WCF, but what would be the easiest way?

Best regards Martin

You could use UDP to send these small messages between apps.
