Hi

I have to make a chat type program that sends encrypted stuff back and forth.

I am planning to have my old assignment with all the ciphers be the lead program and then make a second program to receive stuff back and forth.

Or I can just use threads and have 2 instances of the same program. I will figure this out later.

The thing is I never had 2 programs talking to each other back and forth before. I always wondered how to do it. I think we have to use sockets or something but I am not sure.

So any tutorials on this?

You can use .NET remoting to talk between apps on different machines. If it's only for two apps on the same system you could use cross app-domain communications, however remoting would be more flexible if you want to move one app to another machine.
