I have an application which uses a SQL Server Database to manage data in the system. I currently have two different executable applications, the first one is basically the entire GUI of the application (e.g. Forms, etc.) and the other is a reminder/monitor for the database which shows an Outlook like reminder when appropriate. The majority of the classes and data structures are based in DLLs that these two EXEs shared but not in the same instance.
I would like to know how to make it possible when an event (like a button click) on the reminder application happens, this EXE could raise an event that triggers something in the other EXE (like jumping to the approriate screen or place in the GUI). Very similar to the behavior Outlook displays on its new messages.
I have explored a variety of ideas like REMOTING, PIPES, AppDomains, etc. and I am looking for advice on what will and should work the best for all flavors of Windows (98SE - Vista).
