I'd like to create a Win8 Metro app. To save having to write excessive amounts of code, I was wondering if I could interact with a non-metro program from within a metro app.

Metro app <----> External program

^{ASCII diagrams!!!}

I have the source of several versions of this program in different languages (I can use any), and I can create my app in any of the Metro app languages (either C#, C++, or VB (guessing I wouldn't use JavaScript!!!))

So can I communicate this way?
