That depends.

Is the interaction two-way?

Is the data changed frequently?

Is the data large compared to the memory in the target computer?

If the answer to any of the above is Yes, then I'd suggest making .NET
wrappers for your native data using managed C++. If the answers to all of
the above are No, then you could use Xml (as another respondent suggested).
On the C++ side, take a look at the MSXML4 documentation. On the .NET side,
you'd be using classes from the System.Xml namespace.
