Passing data between two Windows Apps - ActiveX or DDE?

Hi there,

I am facing a challenge to decide which tech is good for passing data between two windows applications (for Win2k).  - ActiveX automation or DDE?

It would be greatly appreciated if someone gives me an ActiveX (or DDE?) sample/Link to a simple sample to show how the server and client apps are implemented to exchange data.

Hi,


Ok if you need to use client server cummunication or so, then use sockets.
Believe me, its really simple , by reading johnnie's windows sockets tutorial,
follow this unique link:

If you want most of the work done for you then better look for the library libwww at www.w3.org/Library/
