You have talked around this app several times over the last few days. It's obvious that you can't do what you're trying to do, which should tell you that your architecture is wrong. Why aren't you directly consuming the service?

You should consume the Service directly or the "app" should be an API instead. In fact, why not explore the contents of the "app" to see what public methods are available.
Or see if this ProcessCommunicator[^] will help.

Can you explain why I would want to do the process communication? I do not currently understand how this would help me.

If and only if this really is a console application then the following is true.
- Input is ONLY via files and/or stdin.
- Output is ONLY via files and/or stdout/stderr.
If that is true then you write a management control API using System.Diagnostics.Process.
That class specifically provides the following functionality.
- A way to start/stop/manage an application (any application)
- Access to stdin/stdout/stderr
You can google for example on how to use Process however the specifics of writing your API depends on you understanding how the console app works.
If you application is not in fact an actual console application, then if it was me, I would look at AutoIt. There are probably others like this but I have had success with this tool a number of times so I look to it first.

The following is true about the console application:
- Input is ONLY via files and/or stdin.
- Output is ONLY via files and/or stdout/stderr.
When I run a command it always starts with 'start' statement followed by the execution path and a couple of parameter values.
This can you tell me and/or point me to a reference on using the 'process' as you stated in your last response. Is there a way that I can use the process class as part of my way of calling the console application? If so, how would I call the console application using the process class?

Probably.

Read the documentation. Give it the path to the executable and any parameters. You can redirect the input and output streams as necessary.

Read the documentation on the functions next time. It's in documented that these functions operate on Radians, not Degrees. The conversion between the two is easy though.

I need to know how to map fields coming from a stored procedure to output fields on a crystal report. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. The output that I'm getting on the report is the name of the fields instead of the values coming from the database.
Also, If at least someonce can tell me how to assign the database value on the .xsd Default Value, that'd help. Right now if I type "TEST" on the .xsd Default Value property (hardcoded), it gets displayed on the report. I need to be able to set that value with the one coming from my database.
The code is based on this sample:
http:
Here's my code:
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web.Configuration;
namespace project
{
public partial class check : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ReportDocument rptCheck = new ReportDocument();
dsCheck ds = new dsCheck(); // .xsd file name
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
// Just set the name of data table
dt.TableName = "Crystal Report Checks";
dt = getChecks(); //This function is located below this function
ds.Tables[0].Merge(dt);
// Your .rpt file path will be below
rptCheck.Load(Server.MapPath("checkprt.rpt"));
//set dataset to the report viewer.
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptCheck;
}
public DataTable getChecks()
{
string sqlCon = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["hello"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection Con = new SqlConnection(sqlCon);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
DataSet ds = null;
SqlDataAdapter adapter;
try
{
Con.Open();
//Stored procedure calling. It is already in sample db.
cmd.CommandText = "spGetData";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Date", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Amount", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@AccountID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Connection = Con;
ds = new DataSet();
adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
adapter.Fill(ds);
//get output param list
string Count1 = cmd.Parameters["@Date"].Value.ToString();
string Count2 = cmd.Parameters["@Name"].Value.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Exception(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
cmd.Dispose();
if (Con.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
Con.Close();
}
return ds.Tables[0];
}
}
}

Have you looked at the tutorials, this is SSRS 101 and is a well documented [^]area.
Also look into embedded (local)[^] reports these are suffixed with RDLC

No I haven't. I'm my wondering if my issue is related to mapping the xsd fields to the database. Do I have to do that? or the data that is coming from my stored procedure is good enough? If so, the question here is...how do I get that data to the output fields on the crystal report?

I have a question about how to obtain the results, condition codes and messages from a C# 2008 console application.
Basically I have received the C# 2008 console application code that calls a remote webservice and consumes the results. The console application runs by giving it commands to know what method in the web service to call.
Now I am going to write a C# 2010 service application that will call the C# 2008 console and run the commands in a specificed order. There are three types of calls that need to be called in a specified order.
This new application will call the console application by executing the commands in a spcific order. However, I would like to know how this new application can obtain the results of the console application.
How will the console application pass it's results back to my new application?
Would it be better if I put the code I am describing in the application I am referring to? If so, can you tell me why and how to accomplsih that task?

I believe you must be using the Process class to run you console application, in which case you can use the Process.StandardOutput[^] to get a StreamReader object to read the output from you console app.

I think it would be better to reorganize your code. The console project you wrote really should be a library/API, if you're going to consume it from another application (ie, the windows service).
I'd suggest converting your console application into a class library project. Then, both the windows service and console can create their own implementations. So, let's say you execute the console app like this:
myconsoleapp.exe "servicename"
Then, create a library project with a public method "RunService":
public class MyAPI
{
public string ExecuteService(string serviceName)
{
}
}
Now both the console app, and your new windows service can consume MyAPI as needed.

Of course it would require quite a bit more work than that. After all it probably takes input, and that would need to be dealt with. And it definitely creates output, which the OP mentioned, and that too would need to be dealt with.

Right, of course, but my point is that it's far better to interact with an API, than trying to parse the output from a console application.
