Question

I wish to execute an exe program from a winforms button. I am using the below code which works. The problem is the winform goes into a blocked state and I cannot interact with it until the exe program is closed. I would like to interact with both the winform and the executed program.

How can I make the executed program non-modal?

    public static void ExecuteCommand(string workingDirectory, 
                                           string cvsExePath, string arguments)
    {
        ProcessStartInfo exeProcess = new ProcessStartInfo(cvsExePath
                                       , " " + arguments.Trim()); 
        exeProcess.WorkingDirectory = workingDirectory;
        exeProcess.UseShellExecute = false;
        exeProcess.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
        exeProcess.RedirectStandardError = true;
        exeProcess.CreateNoWindow = false;
        Process proc = Process.Start(exeProcess);
    }
