Question

I tried the following code:

p = StartProcess("some_process.exe");
DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;
p.Start();
while (!p.HasExited)
{
    executeTime = (DateTime.Now - startTime).Milliseconds;

    if (executeTime > 10000) // 10 seconds
    {
       Console.Write("Test \"" + inputTest + "\" failed: takes more than 10 seconds");
       break;
    }
}

but it doesn’t work.

Is it possible to do that?

Answer 1

You could use the WaitForExit method:

if (!p.WaitForExit((int)TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10).TotalMilliseconds))
{
    // timeout exceeded while waiting for the process to exit
}
