Yeah, I know this is a very dumb question but I would very much like to find
a way to pass data back and forth between a wintegrate v3 session and a .net
app and I know .net doesn't support DDE although googling around I was able
to find some mentions of DDE and C# so that might be one possible solution..

Other things I've thought of:
Writing to shared drive on a windows server
Writing to D3 file and using odbc on other end to read it ....

The problem with both of those is the other app won't see any sort of event
to trigger a read of the data.

Everything is to run on one machine which makes me think dde might be the
only way to go if I can make the .net side work

If you don't mind some programming, write yourself a little ActiveX
that you can activate from Wintegrate via script --> give it some
methods to Start your C# application, get/receive data and also close
the .NET app (or whatever is appropriate) ==> communication can then
be through "whatever" you like (eg: mail slots, named pipes) between
the ActiveX control and the .NET app --> heck, even a message queue
if you want.

Heck, maybe your C# project BECOMES the ActiveX control --> pretty
straight forward IF you have access to the skill set
.
