ipc

I have to connect a Qt4 application to a mono Application. The current proof of concept uses network sockets (which is nice, I can debug using nc on the command line).

But I am open to new suggestions. What are my alternatives?

Edit:

The original application stack is split into two parts: server + client. The client is supposed to show pictures and videos. Since we found that this is not possible in a sane way in Mono, we split the client into two parts:

server -> client -> GUI

In the original implementation the client+GUI were the same application. Now client is in C# (running on Mono), and the GUI is Qt4. Rewriting the client in Qt4 is not an option.

Right now the communication between the client and the GUI is been done using TCP sockets through localhost. I am looking for better implementations.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
