C# Memory Mapped File - Bitmap

Question

Can any help, please>

Can anyone provide me with the basics of passing (interprocess) a bitmap?

Send & Receive in C#

CreateFileMapping, I belive, is still the only way to do this.

Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Are both applications written in .NET? If so, please take a look at WCF (Windows Communication Foundation).

See: IPC Mechanisms in C# - Usage and Best Practices..

Answer 2

this article is a little old but has some sample code that demonstrates it's usage.

there are numerous other samples on MSDN as well as the web. Moving a biap this way won't be easy though, you'll have to save it to a MemoryStream first.
