checking the content of files in runtime 1

[ajikoe]

Hello,

I run a program (third party vendor) which writing something in a text files.

My C# program should know if the text program is finished. How can I know if the thread is finished or clossed without checking the keyword in the text files created by the third party vendor).

For example I run the third party vendor using bat files:

Process myP = new Process();
myP.StartInfo.FileName = @"d:\runBat.bat";
myP.Start();
myP.Close();

Then the runBat.bat will run the third party vendor program which will create a text file.

Thanks in advance

Process has an EnableRaisingEvents property that can be set so that the process raises an Exited event when it ends. You can look at the other Process properties to get the exit code i.e. to see if it worked properly.
