Nothing ever does "nothing". What does it do? Return immediately?
danielhasdibs wrote: System.Diagnostics.Process WordProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
Why are you creating a new process here? You only throw it away in the next line where you create another new process.
danielhasdibs wrote: WordProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi);
You should check the return value. If a process is reused instead or starting a new, the return value is null.
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Hi
Why did you give the wait for exit time as 10000 i.e WordProcess.WaitForExit(10000);
if you want the first application to be closed and open the second one do like this
WordProcess.WaitForExit();// wait for infinite
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(txt_websiteAddress.Text);
And about HasExited property, if any of the word document is open other than the closed document, this property will not get updated. Since Word is single process which launch different instance of editor.
Thanks

Hi!
I just tried this and it works as expected using this code:
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("C:\\Document.doc");
MessageBox.Show("Starting...");
Process p = Process.Start(psi);
p.WaitForExit();
MessageBox.Show("Finished");
The second message box appears as soon as I close Word.
Does this help?
Regards,
mav

Ok, I don't want to be one of those jerks who finds the answer and doesn't share so I have the working code here. I don't know why this didn't work before, but it didn't, and now it does, so I'm happy.
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();<br />
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;<br />
psi.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;<br />
psi.UseShellExecute = false;<br />
psi.Arguments = txt_Wordfile.Text + " /n";<br />
psi.FileName = WordExe;
<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process WordProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();<br />
<br />
WordProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi);<br />
<br />
WordProcess.EnableRaisingEvents = true;<br />
while (!WordProcess.HasExited)<br />
{<br />
;<br />
}<br />
WordProcess.Kill(); <br />
<br />
<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(txt_website.Text);
Thanks everyone for your help!

Hello,
Just an addintional info.
As the Process class implements IDisposable you should call Dispose() to free the memory.
You could use an using-block for that reason.
using(System.Diagnostics.Process WordProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process())
{
WordProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi);
...
}
I don't think there is a need to call the "Kill" method after "HasExited" is "true".
Same with "EnableRaisingEvents", only needed if you want to handle the "Exited" event.
P.S.: Strange, that WaitForExit is not working here.
All the best,
Martin

Hey Guys,
I am developing a simple windows mobile gps app. I have a MC35 device which has a build in GPS on port COM0.
I am having trouble accessing that port to get the GPS data.
My code looks like this
SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM0", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
port.Open();
I get an IO Exception at the port.Open();
No other application is using this port.
When I go into Google Map GPS works fine.

Simerjots,
Paste the IO Exception here...

Gareth.

Thanks for the reply Gareth.
All the Exception say is IOException.
Also no details avaible.

I'm wondering how to implement an auto-upgrading system for a windows mobile (C# .NET 2.0) application that works as well as ClickOnce or something similar. The app would communicate to a web service to get patch info and the actual files as well.
Does anybody know of an article that explains how to impliment an upgrade system for a mobile application?
I've read a few articles on transfering files over a web service, so that's as much of a hurdle.

Do you know about the Microsoft Patterns and Practices site[^]? It used to have a Application Updater[^] block but they have reorganized the site and the only way I can find it know is with Google. Apparently they they believe Updating Application over the network is "old news".
The patterns & practices team has decided to archive this content to allow us to streamline our latest content offerings on our main site and keep it focused on the newest, most relevant content. However, we will continue to make this content available because it is still of interest to some of our users.

Hi,
I just wanna know if theres a "template " control or something in VS2005. otherwise i will write an xml to change the form color. forecolor etc. I want the user to be able to change the colors from xml. I think i can do it using hex color codes.Any ideas ?

I have no idea what you are talking about but perhaps you are interested in the XML Configuration file support in the .NET Base Class Library which can be found in the System.Configuration namespace

Another way to do what? Never mind I have lost interest.

You can just create a static property object, bind the properties (color, font, background) and use the system.configuration.Configuration to store/retrieve the values using the app.config file.
