Hello!

Today we have two processes A and B written in MFC which are communicating
with each other by using serialized socket.
These processes are running as console application and as a GUI application.

Assume I want to replace one of these processes say B with a process written
in C# using window services.

I know window services so you don't have to explain that.

So A should not see any difference.

Is this difficult can somebody give me some hints.

So to handle socket is central point here for process B.

Well, where are you stuck? It sounds like you just need to write a new
process which listens on the same socket that process B used to listen
on, and handles the same protocol. It shouldn't be too hard, assuming
the protocol is well documented.
