Starting a process and retrieving the results

[Simon Harvey]

Hi all,

Can anyone advise me on how I would start a windows application from a
Windows service and somehow retrieve the result that gets returned from
the .exe's Main method?

I need to call the application and then surpress a timer in the service
whilst the application executes. Then once the result comes back, I need
to re-enable the timer.

Thanks

Simon

Simon,

When you use the Proces class, after the process has completed, you can
check the ExitCode property to get the return value from the Main method of
the process.

Hope this helps.
