Solution 2

Just reference one assembly by another. In VS, you do it by "add reference". Normally, a DLL is referenced, but you can reference EXE as well. Essentially, there are no serious difference between EXE and DLL. EXE has entry point, so what? You need to declare types, methods and properties to be used outside the assembly as public.

Solution 1

To use functions in another app you can Assembly.LoadFrom the app and use the classes inside provided they are public.

To access running data in another app you have to setup some kind of communication link either in TCP, WCF, etc.

Create classes for your functions and then you can use them.
