Process.Start executing old version of my EXE

Hi everyone,
From my WinForms app I am executing an external process. It turns out

that I have replaced the EXE of the external process with a newer
version and my WinForms app is still executing the old one. I am using
Visual Studio 2005 and programming in C#.

I have been wrecking my brains for two days and I can't find a possible
explanation. These are the things I have tried so far:
-Renaming the new EXE and, of course, referencing the new name in my
code.
-Deleted all the MUICache entries in the registry.
-Removed the EXE completely from my Visual Studio solution and added it
again.
-Deleted all the suspicious caching files of Visual Studio.
-If I xcopy my app to another computer it works.
-If I xcopy my app to another folder in the same dev computer it works
only once; in subsequent runs the old version of the EXE is called
(even with a different EXE name).

This is absolutely frustrating.

I would appreciate any input.

Thanks much!

I would like to start a process from C# code as another user. The C# code is executed as the ASPNET user because it relies in a Web Page class, and I would like that the process will run as another user to gain the required rights for execution (the external process needs to create a mailbox in Exchange, so it needs to be run as an Exchange Full Administrator-powered user). For the moment, I have tries using the Start() static method of the...

Hi, I am trying to start a process from inside a .NET service. The process is a simple GUI app, the service will start up the GUI and then stop itself. The service starts the app, but no GUI appears. However, I can see the application running in the task manager. I made sure that CreateNoWindow was set to false and still no GUI appears. If i run the application by double clicking on it, the GUI appears fine. Here is the code: Process...

How to wait for a process to stop completion is my goal. Obviously, the looping while waiting for the HasExited property is not a solution.. but thats the best I can come up off the top of my head. Natuarally it will not work. I expect it to use up all resources looping, which will not allow the process to complete. The process takes about 60 seconds, because the .bat file it is calling is rebuilding mulitple .NET solutions and projects...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
