Post From: Communicating between Sierra Charts and an external application

I need to be able to communicate with a C# application on the same computer as Sierra Charts. I need to send a number of data items extracted using the SC function from a DLL to the C#. Can someone point me to documetation or support board items that address this need? Clearly I could have the dll create a file with the data and the C# could monitor a specific directory with a SystemFileWatcher to detect new or updated files. Are there any better approaches? Ultimately I need to allow the C# application to send data to Sierra Charts. Again the file approach would work other than the DLL would only detect a new file when it was run based upon its being called by a data-related event. During normal market activity this would not be a real problem.
