Implementing Kernel in C and Shell in C#

Is it possible to implement MVC architecture's control in one language and view in other language.
What I'm looking for is a pattern to have a "kernel" in C and the "shell" in C#.
Or like "server" in C and "client" in C# (but in the same machine).
Only approach I come up with is to use pipes or sockets to communicate between the two processes.
Is there a better approach ? (I'm sure there is but What is it ? )

Eidt : I found a number of approaches here in MSDN.but wonder what would be the ideal.

Solution

  • Shared memory might be a solution: MSDN - Creating Named Shared Memory

    But beware that dealing with shared memory is a LOT trickier than dealing with "higher level" constructs like sockets.

    Cheers. Keith.
