I think you're looking for Inter-Process Communication (IPC).
Have a look at these articles:
Inter-Process Communication in .NET Using Named Pipes, Part 1[^]
Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Introduction and Sample Code[^]
Inter-Process Communication between C# and C++ using named pipes[^]
You can also use Memory-Mapped Files:
Memory-Mapped Files[^]
Programming Memory-Mapped Files with the .NET Framework[^]
Memory Mapped File Interoperability with .NET Objects[^]

IPC also works for Services, but you can also use it for Desktop applications.
