Launch another application and wait for it to complete.

[Shelby]

Hi,
if I launch another application in my vb code, how can I wait for it to
complete first?

Dim myProcess As Process
myProcess = New Process
myProcess.Start("test.exe")
' I want to wait for test to complete and continue with other codes
myProcess = Nothing

Thanks
Shelby

Hi Tom,
it raise an error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred
in system.dll

Shelby,

You are calling waitforexit before you dispose of it? Try this.

Dim p As Process = Process.Start("Notepad.exe")

p.WaitForExit()

p = Nothing
