Redirecting stdout/stdin in running process without P/Invoke

[Jacek]

Hello!

My application has to use external native library writing to stdout and
stdin. My goal is to redirect output within running process (no chance to do
that in child process - Process class redirection is useless in that case)
and I would like to do it without reverting to C-run time library P/Invoke
calls.

Any ideas how to do that?

Will Console.SetIn() and Console.SetOut() do what you need?

Thanks for suggestion but it is not a solution in my case since it redirects
only managed output and input operations on Console class. It has no effect
on underlying stdin stdout streams attached to process - when you write from
unmanaged code to those streams output or input not redirected after call to
Console.SetOut() or Console.SetIn(). - so you end up with output on console.
It would be nice if Console would work that way but it doesnot.

Reason I asked is that I would prefer to avoid going to P/Invoke for
C-Runtime library calls as they are sometimes quite tricky, much more than
Win32 API.
