External Process will not end correctly

[=?Utf-8?B?Q3JhaWc=?=]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to caputre the output for an external application. The idea is
to use the System.Diagnost ics.Process to run the exe in a process and
redirect the output to a string.

When I run the external command it works fine. But when i wrap it in a .net
exe it fails to exit and the application does not exit. If I kill the
external exe from task manager, the .net wrap completes.

If I proc.StartInfo. UseShellExecute to true, i can get the external
application to run, but then i lose the output.

Here is a snippet of the code.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Diagnost ics.Process proc = new System.Diagnost ics.Process();
proc.EnableRais ingEvents=false ;
proc.StartInfo. UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo. CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.StartInfo. RedirectStandar dOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo. RedirectStandar dError = true;
proc.StartInfo. FileName=@"C:\P rogram.exe";
proc.StartInfo. Arguments="";
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExi t();
string stdoutput = proc.StandardOu tput.ReadToEnd( );
string stderror = proc.StandardEr ror.ReadToEnd() ;
Console.WriteLi ne (stdoutput);
Console.WriteLi ne (stderror);
}

Cheers

Craig.

Hi guys,

Got it working, just had to move the proc.WaitForExi t(); line to below the
read lines.

Cheers
