I can replace all of it. UDP is only used between network computers via the control EXE's. I just need several apps all connecting to the same control EXE through its COM interface. I'm also have implemented a message scheme to provide notifications to the apps but would prefer a bi-directional communication link between the apps and the control EXE. VS2008 is old but it also has a conversion utility to update VB6 to NET. I'm using it as the starting point then migrating to VS2017/2019. There are many apps in the entire solution that have been converted. This is the last one.

I am currently trying to implement it using COM but I can only get one app to use the COM interface. The next app that attempts to connect wants its own instantiation. Looks to me like the app wants to treat it as a DLL in its own thread. Maybe I have something wrong? The EXE exposing the COM Class interface must be the only one running on a computer all apps must access the same COM interface.
