running application using vb.net

[Lynn]

Hi,
I use the following code to run xcopy, but my application hangs after the
copying has finished. What could be wrong?

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
psi.FileName = "xcopy"
psi.Arguments = "c:\abc d:\abc"
Process.Start(psi)
Process.GetCurrentProcess.WaitForExit()

This line: Process.GetCurrentProcess.WaitForExit() is waiting for your
application to end, not the process. So that causes the app to hang.
Assuming you have a reason for not using the built-in File.Copy() function,
try this code.

Dim MyProcess as New Process
Dim psi as New ProcessStartInfo()
psi.FileName="xcopy"
psi.Arguments="c:\abc d:\abc"
MyProcess.ProcessStartInfo=psi
MyProcess.Start()
MyProcess.WaitForExit()

Run the command in the commandwindow. I wonder if you are being prompted to
overwrite a file.

You realize that with a few more lines of code, you can replicate your own
xcopy routine using system.io namespace?

thanks so much

how can i verify that all files and folders are copied successfully from the
source ?

 

[Lynn]

is there any way that i can automate the checking instead of running the
command again manually?
