[Mono-list] Simple Interprocess Communication?

[Sascha Leib]

Hello all,

sorry if this has been asked before.

What is the cleanest (read: platform-independentest :-) way to communicate
with another instance of the same program.

What I want to achieve is the following: my app can handle multiple windows,
so when the user re-launches another instance of the application, it should
just notify the already running instance to open a new window, and exit
(that is, unless he uses a specific command line switch, but that's another
story...)

Sounds simple enough. However, all examples I could find in the Internet
involve either some nasty pInvokes or even ghastlier things like
communicating via a Port or worse.

There must be some simple and elegant way to achieve this. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance

The biggest cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid
people are so sure about things and the intelligent folks are so full
of doubts.
