HOWTO : passing values between ASP.NET applications ?

Describing why you want to do that may also help. For now I would say a web
service ? (other options I can think off are using the querystring, or a
shared database if reachable by both apps).

Database server, QueryString, Form Post, HTTP request, Message Queuing
Services, Web Services, Remoting, SMTP, FTP, Telnet, custom socket
application, just to name a few. Use your imagination. The basic principle
is that the one application needs to send a message to the other in some
way.

Well you are right I have to explain a little more :

- One user starts application A.
- application A needs application B and then starts it (via
response.redirect for example)
- the user uses application B
- when finished, application B should bring application A back and
transmit it the result of what the user made
- application A comes again containing the data the user entered in
application B

Any idea ?

Looks like a web service.

I would see something like :
- application A ask B for a value
- if no value available brings up app B (possibly asking first the user)
- once B is closed A can get the value (through a web service)

It may still need some more thoughs (what annoys me a bit is that it's seems
it should be tied together from an UI point of view). How to decide app B
needs to be launched especially if there is a previous result available ?

Can't the user decide to launch B at will ? App A will have the last result
created in B...

Are A and B really distinct apps ? (for example an intranet like application
could use a single data store, making all data available to all "modules" as
needed).

If you use Response.Redirect, you can attach data to the QueryString of the
URL you are redirecting to.

No, it is a webservice WITH a GUI !
