Source file for preview is not available

[Guest]

I am using a simple batch file that takes 3 args to create a .pdf file, and
then view that PDF file using on the Microsoft's Web Browser control
(AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser):

{
System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName =@"C:\test-fo.bat";
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle= System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden ;
string s1= @"C:\2.xml";
string s2= @"C:\ftid-fo.xsl";
string s3= @"C:\FO1.pdf";

p.StartInfo.Arguments= "\"" + s1 + "\"" + " " + "\"" + s2 + "\"" + " " +
"\"" + s3 + "\"";
p.Start();
p.Close();

string strFile = s3;
XMLBrowser.Navigate(strFile ,ref objNull,ref objNull,ref objNull,ref
objNull);
}

When I call the above for the first time... it gives an error :"Source file
for preview is not available". This only happens for the first time! I can
call the same code (after the first instance) without any errors and get the
preview of the generated file.

Is there any property/setting that i am missing related to the Process class?
Please suggest.

Thanks.

Gaurav,

You need to wait for the process to end. You should make a call to
WaitToExit on the Process instance you create so that you know the process
completes before you tell the web browser to load it.

Hope this helps.
