running a called exe before returning to the calling app

[Bernie Yaeger]

I'd like to run an external exe before returning to the calling app. For
example:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("f:\imcapps\xbuil d\xbuild.exe")

When I call this, the code beneath immediately runs, but I don't want it to
begin running until xbuild.exe does its stuff. Any way I can do this, other
than an extensive for loop beneath this to delay its effect?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Dim p As Process = Process.Start("Notepad.exe")

p.WaitForExit()
