How to start a process from c#?

[R.A.]

Hi

The application I am working on should start an external exe application and
wait for its result. The external application is most likely not a .net app.
How can I call the exe from c# code and get the result code or when the exe
finished processing?


Thanks

Hi,

Take a look at System.Diagnostics.Process

and ExitCode property.

Cheers,i

using System.Diagnostics
....
Process x = Process.Start("XYZ.EXE");
x.WaitForExit();
int exitCode = x.ExitCode;

(Note: I didn't test this code)
