Passing an object between processes
I have two vc++ applications that communicate using a
named pipe. I would like to send some local variable
values down the pipe from the client to the server. At
present the only way I have achieved this successfully
is to convert the values to one long character string. As I have encapsulated the variables into a container class, I would like to pass the whole container object by value down the pipe. How do I do this? Is there an easier/better method than using pipes?

I would suggest using File Mapping. File Mapping allows two or more applications to share memory. Look into the documentation about File Mapping.

Thats a possibility, but can you do this with pipes? I have all the code inplace for pipe communication. All I would like to know is how to convert an active object (or its data members) to a byte stream.
