Question

I have a .NET service.

I have a .NET console application.

I want something along the lines of the service calling Process.Start("consoleapp.exe") and getting some information returned back from the app, ideally just returning a number.

How do I do this?

Edit:

I figure it must be: Process.Start("myapp.exe").ExitCode – but how do I set the exit code in the console app?

Answer 1

Process p = Process.Start("app.exe");
p.WaitForExit();
int number = p.ExitCode;

And in app.exe you set Enviroment.ExitCode…
