I have a C# 2010 console application calling a second console application. I want the main calling console application to wait for the e_Process1 console application to quit running before the second console application is called with different parameter.
I want the main calling console application to look at values in a sql server 2008 database before calling the second console application with different parameters.
When you look at the 2 lines of code listed below, you will see that the main console program is watiting for the second console application to run. However the main console application is stilling waiting.
Code referecing to:
e_Process1.Start();
e_Process1.WaitForExit();
Thus can you tell me what you suggest I do to solve my problem? Either the second console application never quits executing and/or I need to use diferent statements.

Sounds like the first application is doing exactly what you want it to do. You should be investigating why the second application never exits.
Why is common sense not common?

I have to agree with Wes. What is the problem? It is doing exactly what you are telling it to do. Do you want it to wait or not? Do you want to add a timeout to the process?

I probably should add a timeout to the process. How do you do that?

Before you do something like this, do you know why it's hanging?

I do not know why the application is hanging.
Maybe the "second console" application never stops running? Is there a way that I can tell if the "second console" application ever stops running? If so, how can I tell when the "second console" application has finished executing?
Basically the second console application calls a web service to obtain information. The "second" console application has a proxy in it to communicate with the web service.
There is an 'xsd' file that communicates with the web services via xml. Do proxies always keep running?

You can check if the process exists, that's one way.

You should forget about using Process.Start for the moment and make sure that you understand how the second application behaves when run manually in a command window.
Hopefully after typing in the correct command line, the application will run and then exit. If the running application requires user interaction, e.g. "Press a key to exit", then it may be a poor candidate for automation via Process.Start.
If the manual run is ok can you post the code used to initialise the Process object.

I am going to run the application manually and let you know what I find out.
When I run the application from the console application, here is the code to get the application running:
private static String strConsoleAppLocation = "C:\\temp\\Eclient.exe";
private static String strEncryptedValue = "encrypt value"
private static String strWebServiceurl = "https://test1/testWebService";
Process_Arguments = null;
Process eProcess1 = new Process();
eProcess1.StartInfo.FileName = strConsoleAppLocation;
Process_Arguments = strEncryptedValue + " " + strWebServiceurl + " 10 " + SPkgID;
eProcess1.StartInfo.Arguments = Process_Arguments;
eProcess1.Start();

I want to make the following comments:
1. When I stepped through the code using a visual studio.net 2008 debugger, the application did finish executing when the main procedure finished executing. Basically there was no where for me to step through the code again.
However the debugger was still active and ready to continue debugging.
Does this the application is still executing?
2. As far as I can tell, the application runs fine from the dos window. It does not ask me to enter any information. Does that mean it has finished executing?

Some apps may be behave differently when run "normally" or from a batch or with pipes and redirection.
You might want to try running it via my ProcessCommunicator[^] to see how it actually behaves when executed in a Process.

I would like to call psexec or a native class inside of a simple GUI, so that I can query racadm.exe (a dell utility) on a remote server and get current drac information for that particular box.
Is there a wrapper available for this?
Thanks!

Does the last reply on this[^] page help?

Hi,
I'm actually looking for a wrapper so that the code is native, instead of using standard in/out, but I might have to go that way.
Something like this except I cannot get that project to open in vs2008?

Hi
How should be used these objects,
- do I have to create an object every time in an using block
(creating connection every time I need a query)
or
- I can create the object globally and reused for every query I need? Will the server close this connection if it is idle, and I will have an exception when trying to reuse it?
Should be this object(context) thread safe?

Are you talking about an SqlConnection? It will keep open a while, but I close the connection after the operations are done. I open it for the next time again.

They are not thread-safe automatically. You have to use delegates to call them from different threads if you are talking about an sqlconnection.
It would be more helpful if you say what you are talking about as concrete as possible. Otherwise I may have answered your questions but I think I don't have...

yes, I talk about SQL connection.
What do you mean by using delegates. To create some functions where I open the connection with using ?
ans possibly pass some delegates with the functionality I require?

Sorry, I didn't told the truth, I mixed it up with something completely different. The SqlConnection is threadsave. Therefore no delegates aren't needed. I used some other communication at the same time and this wasn't threadsafe, so delegates were needed.

Hi All,
I Develop an application with main form (MDI Form) and all child forms opened in the same form, but my problem is when open the application the windows task bar doesn't show until i minimize or close the application.
please help me if you can who to show the windows task bar in the same time when my application is opened.
Thanks.

Go to the MDI-Form and take a look to the properties. Is the property "ShowInTaskbar" set to true? If not set it to true. That's the normal state, but it seems it's missing for your form.

Hi,
The property "ShowInTaskbar" is true but still the windows task bar disappeared
Thanks

Ok. The Windows is not shown in the taskbar, you say. If you create a new Project with a normal form, is that shown on taskbar?
If it is shown, the problem might be your project. Create a new one and copy the files to the new folder, include them into the new project.

Just to be clear about this: the ShowInTaskbar for the main form, right? MDI children will never appear in the taskbar.

The dock property has nothing to do with the task bar. It just handles if a control is docked on one side of it's parent.
