Syed, I was looking at doing something very similar[1]. I learned that memory mapped files are not what you want, however, a number of the list participants had some great suggestions for other ways to do this, the most promising (IMHO) was creating a pluggable protocol. I don't have a URL handy, but I know there is a tutorial on one of the major .net sites, and there may be a link from the thread linked to below.
