Running a command line process

[Guest]

Hi I want my VB.NET application to run a command from the command line and then wait for the command to finish before continuing.

I am currently using

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(strApp)

where strApp is the the command line text.

However this method starts a new process and therefore my application continues without waiting.

Any ideas?
