how to catch the return code of one VB.Net executable from another VB.net executable

[libs]

I have A.exe that should catch the return code of B.exe (both are written in VB.net) so A.exe can continue processing other commands. but A.exe cannot catch B's return code so an exception is not thrown as the program should. here's my code for A.exe

procEXE = Process.Start(P ROGRAM_NAME
procEXE.WaitFor Exit(

If procEXE.HasExit ed The
If procEXE.ExitCod e <> 0 The
Throw New Exception("Proc ess execution failed. Check the server and error logs for more details."
End I
End I

and here is the code for B.exe

Public Function Main(ByVal sArgs() As String) As Intege

Dim sNetUserId As Strin
Dim lReturnCode As Integer = -

Tr

sNetUserId = WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent().N ame(

If Not FunctionExecute Successful() Then Exit Functio
lReturnCode =

Catch Ex As Exceptio
HandleClientErr or(Ex

End Tr

Return lReturnCod

End Functio

Is there something wrong with what I did

thanks

Attach to the Exited event of the process.

Do you know why the OP's code doesn't work?

i tried that, and also set EnableRaisingEv ents to true. didnt work.

was there something wrong with the code? Will having a main() function with return value of integer would cause a return value be caught by ExitCode property?
