call cmd processes and keeping them cmd window

Oct 19th, 2007

I've been able to call a cmd process to run a batch file. It runs but I have no idea what it does bec' the window opens and closes too fast. I've used .WaitForExit(), but it doesn't help. I've been looking for more help and can find anything specific. I can't tell if my batch file runs or not and where the output redirects too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ok, quick and dirty, to be removed before building release - used to help me in my student years. Last line of code is :
Console.ReadLine();

that will wait until you kill the console.

can you repeat the part of the stuff where you said all about the things?
