Running command line comands from .NET from .NET

hplloyd

Hi i want my VB.NEt application to run a seperate application from the command line, and then wait until this application has completed before continuing

I am currently using

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(strApp) where strApp is the command line but this simply starts a new process... I want the command to be run as part of the existing process...

Any ideas?

You can't launch one process "as part of" an existing process. It just
doesn't work like that. You can pause your app (or at least your
current thread) until the process has finished, if that would help.
