Process & OutputDataRecei ved Handler

[rob]

Hello,

I have a DOS program that I need to execute from a WinForm application.
This DOS program will take a long time to execute. During execution it
prints out messages. While the DOS program is still running I want to
catch these messages and display them to the user. I managed to create
the process and redirect the output. The problem I am having is that
the even handler for OutputDataRecei ved is not called until the DOS
program is finished. Once it is finished the handler gets called for
each line. My question is why does it not get called right after each
line is printed? What am I doing wrong.

Bellow is a sample code. The DOS program prints out one line (with \n")
of random numbers every every 500ms. Proc is a function that is called
when I press a button on the WinForm.

StringBuilder Output;
static int numOutputLines= 0;
private void Proc()
{
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Use ShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.Red irectStandardOu tput = true;
output.Output = new StringBuilder(" ");
p.OutputDataRec eived += new
DataReceivedEve ntHandler(Outpu tHandler);

p.StartInfo.Fil eName = @"randomNum.exe ";
p.StartInfo.Cre ateNoWindow = true;
p.Start();

p.BeginOutputRe adLine();
while (true)
{
string s;
s = "";
int n;

//Shows empty string until process is finished
//When process is finished it shows all lines.
s = Output.ToString ();
MessageBox.Show (s, "result");
}
p.Close();
}

private void OutputHandler(o bject sendingProcess,
DataReceivedEve ntArgs outLine)
{
//This event handler is not called until process is finished.
//When process is finished it gets called once for each line
if (!String.IsNull OrEmpty(outLine .Data))
{
numOutputLines+ +;
Output.Append(E nvironment.NewL ine +
"[" + numOutputLines. ToString() + "] - " + outLine.Data);
}
}
