Hi,
Another couple of things that you need to be care of:
1- Create a pif file and check "Close on Exit" , otherwise you wil have a
DOS screen saying something like "FINISHED Program Name"
2- If you do not want that the DOS windows is shown select Normal as the
windows mode in the PIF's creation dialog ( also take a look at the code
below )
This is the code I'm using to exec a bat:
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = foxexe;
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = prg;
proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
proc.StartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName( prg);
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
if ( proc.ExitCode!= 0 )
throw new Exception("Error executing foxpro");
Hope this help,

Correct. Here is a sample code snippet you can paste into your Main
function:
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo p = new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\foo.bat") ; System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo = p;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
Console.WriteLine("I'm done");
Note: you might tweak it a little bit your code (or batch file) to
allow/avoid async execution (it really depends on what you are trying to
do).
