System.Diagnostics.Process

[solex]

Hello All,

Hopefully someone has run into this error. I have written a class(source
below) that launches a thread to monitor the StandardOutput of a
System.Diagnostics.Process, in particular I am executing the find.exe
program.

The application works perfectly in the development environment. As soon as
I execute the compiled program and start the find process I get an
"Application Error". The error states that the instruction 0x7552bb73
referenced memory at "0x000000000" the memor could not be read.

Has anyone seen this behavior? If so can you point me in the write direction
to a solution?

Thanks,
Dan

Does it work when using this code?
