The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sending data from one exe to another

Asked by technotommy in Microsoft Development, Development Software, Game Programming

Hello.

We have 2 applications (.exe). The first application sends out data through a serial port. We will call it application A. Application B then tells application A what data to send out. In our case, we cannot use application B to directly send out the data to the serial port for various reasons.

So, our solution is to use application B to write registry fields. Aplication A check the registry area every 50ms to see if anything has changed. If so, send out the changes to the serial port. While this method works, we know that there probably is a cleaner way for Application B to tell Application A what data to send.

Application B is written in VB6, whereas Application A is in VB.net. Do you have a recommentation, link, or example code for application B to put data in memory, and then application B read the memory data?

Thank you!
