When does an process end?

[rfazendeiro]

hi ti all,

 

I'm currently building an application that is going the execute an external application in batch mode.

 

[csharp]

for (i=0;i < 10; i++) {

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sAppPath,sArgs);

}

[/csharp]

 

As you can see i need to execute this external application lots of times, but i only want the next series to begin when the other finnishes.

 

how can i do that? can anyone help me on this?

If you create a variable of type Process it has a .WaitForExit property, if this is true it waits till the application has exited before continuing

Just a recommendation: you could create a second thread to wait for a process to end in order to not freeze up your app.

Thx for the replies!

the method WaitForExit() did exactly what i wanted, but noted about the second thread.
