Process.Start with .WaitForExit()?

[theCroat]

Process.Start("executable.exe").WaitForExit() works fine

but when i'm trying Process.Start("executable file/index.fsh").WaitForExit()
which needs to start small dos operation i get error

just to let you know this executable file/index.fsh with .bat file works [test.bat]

and when i put Process.Start("test.bat").WaitForExit() it works for some reason!

I just dont know why i cant use "executable file/index.fsh" just like in vb6, or i dont know how to use it?

help?

"forgot to mention i'm Visual Basic 2006 .net user"

Really ?? heh


I think there is a FAQ by ca8msm (?) that shows how to start a process. Also there is the option to have the windows hidden. Give it a search.

Err.. i cannot either find that FAQ. But I am sure it existed. Anyway:

        Dim psi As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
        psi.CreateNoWindow = False
        psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
        psi.WorkingDirectory = "the directory"
        psi.FileName = "the filename"

        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi)

        psi = Nothing
