Visual C# GUI stops responding when process.WaitForExit(); is used

Question

I am creating a GUI application using Visual C# 2005 (net framework 2). I use the following code to start a process:

Process process = new Process();
process         


        

Answer 1

Your waiting for the process on the only thread of your application that is also responsible for handling all GUI events. If you want to wait for some event (like some other process to finish) and still have your code notified of the event then you have to wait on another thread or use an event handler.
