ProcessStartInfo hanging on “WaitForExit”? Why?

Question

I have the following code:

info = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(\"TheProgram.exe\", String.Join(\" \", args));
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.Win         


        

Answer 1

We have this issue as well (or a variant).

Try the following:

1) Add a timeout to p.WaitForExit(nnnn); where nnnn is in milliseconds.

2) Put the ReadToEnd call before the WaitForExit call. This is what we've seen MS recommend.
