Shared memory in VC++

Hi,

I am trying to share memory between two VC++ projects.

I created a shared segment as

#pragma data_seg(".SHARED")
unsigned char buffer[5] = {0};
unsigned char offset[5] = {0};

#pragma data_seg()

#pragma comment(linker, "/section:.SHARED,RWS")

In one project i am writing data into the buffer and offset arrays and from another project i am trying to read from these arrays.

But it is not working..

Pl help..
