I have a windows form application (Synchronization application Like DropBox and Google Drive) and also COM Components(Shell extensions) that I created using SharpShell that added features to windows file system. My question is how the COM communicate with the Windows Form application. e.g
When I create a singleton in my windows forms application, the COM extension can't see this Singleton(null) as I think it is a different process. my question is I want the best practice of how COM Process(C# code) communicate with Windows forms app(also c# code) or I want my singleton to be seen by both of the apps.
public class FileLoggerDoubleCheckLocking : BaseFileLogger
{
private static FileLoggerDoubleCheckLocking _instance;
private static readonly object _lock = new object();
private FileLoggerDoubleCheckLocking()
{
}
public static FileLoggerDoubleCheckLocking Instance
{
get
{
if (_instance == null)
{
lock (_lock)
{
if (_instance == null)
{
_instance = new FileLoggerDoubleCheckLocking();
}
}
}
return _instance;
}
}
}
Thanks, I already solved it by using WCF Named Pipes WCF Named Pipes
