Process.Start async?

[vooose]

Process.Start("some_program.exe");
Console.WriteLine("I am here");

Assume some_program.exe takes a *long* time to execute...do you see the
Console statement straight away or are you waiting till some_program
terminates?

It appears on XP it is the former and on NT the latter which has caused
much confusion!

Process.Start launches an external process then continues with execution.
I.E. it does not hang around for the process to terminate.

You canwait for it to terminate if you wish using "WaitForExit" method...

Thanks for your reply and link Dan. It appears it doesnt honour this for
NT...I am installing NT today to confirm this...
