Calling devenv.exe from Process

[SR]

Hi
Would suggest that instead of using the process class and
invoking the devenv, u try using the VS.Net object
library. This will help you perform the operations in a
much more controlled way.

Hi,

I'm trying to call devenv.exe (VS.NET 2003) from within a c# app tocompile a solution. This works fine when the solution compilesproperly, but for some reason I can't seem to get the output from theapplication back properly when a compilation error occurs.

In the code below the "Error!" prints, but there is no textafterwards, and the application is thrown, but the standard errorstring is emtpy.

I know the output is definately an error. If I change the followingline:

// in the code below its false
_BuildProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

Then a new command line window appears and the VS.NET compilationerror is briefly displayed prior to the window shutting down.Unfortunately I'm unsuccesful in reading the error output fromStandardError, which means I can't trap compilation errors.
Any ideas?

Thanks

_BuildProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
_BuildProcess.EnableRaisingEvents = false;

_BuildProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
_BuildProcess.StartInfo.FileName="devenv";
_BuildProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/rebuild release " +
solutionFile;
_BuildProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = localDirectory;
_BuildProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
_BuildProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

_BuildProcess.Start();
_BuildProcess.WaitForExit();

Console.WriteLine("Error! " +
_BuildProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd());
_BuildProcess.StandardError.Close();

// Exit code other than zero is an error
if (0 != _BuildProcess.ExitCode)
throw new ApplicationException(
string.Format(
"Build error - Exit Code: {0}; Error: {1}; Output: {2};", _BuildProcess.ExitCode, _BuildError, _BuildOutput));
