Async write to STDIN

I'm writing an application to gather the inputs and outputs from a
number of batch applications into one console. To do this I launch the
batch application from mine and redirect STDIN, STDOUT and STDERROR. I
can't change the batch apps so this seems the only option.

By using Process.BeginOu tputReadLine() I'm capturing the output from
the batch applications (written to STDOUT and STDERROR) and this works
just fine. I now need to create a mechanism to pass input from my
console to STDIN of the batch applications. My question is how do I
know when the batch application has issued a read. Is there an event
associated with async IO that gets raised when an application issues a
readline(). I'd like to prompt the console user that one of the batch
applications requires input and to pass the user' input to that
application.

Any guidance gratefully received.

Regards

Hi, I'm writing a small chat client to learn some python and networking. No problem with the network stuff tho, the problem is when the user should be able to interact and type messages to send. Since I work with windows I can't use the select function (http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-select.html). Maybe it could work if I use two threads? One thread reading keyboard and the other handling network stuff, but I would prefer to...

Hi all, When using an asynchronous API call (in my case WriteFileEx) in a thread it seems to become blocking instead of non-blocking (see details below). Can somebody explain me what is happening here... Details: I wrote a simple program that is able to do very fast async writes to disk. For that I used the WriteFileEx API call which is by nature asynchronous. At first I wrote a simple console app to verify the concept, it worked...

Hello - I am trying to write a class that has an async BeginX and EndX, plus the regular X syncronous method. Delegates seemed like the way to go, however, I still am having problems getting exactly what I want. Here are my goals 1. I would like the IAsyncResult that is returned by the Begin function to be able to be waited on or polled to check for completion. 2. The Begin function would take a callback, and the async process would

Hi all, Three questions really: 1) The async call to the networkstream's endread() (or even endxxx() in general) blocks. Async calls are made on the threadpool - aren't we advised not to cause these to block? 2) You can connect together a binaryreader to a networkstream:

Hi, Is Async I/O (e.g. NetworkStream.Begin/End Read/Write) always better than synchronous I/O? At least as good? When I don't concern about easy or difficult to write code, should I always use Async I/O?
