From: Morris on 6 Feb 2010 10:06 I use VS2008 and I need a solution that contains 2 executables (two different processes) of which one should launch the other. 1. Does C# support such launching(with some paramters) an how? 2. Does VS2008 suport that-should I simply add the other excutables as I would do with ordinary dll? Thanks in advance Morris

For the Process class, you'll need the EXE to exist as a file at a known location (e.g. in the same directory with the main program), and pass that file path to the Process class. Pete

Is it posible? Regards Morris

I don't understand that part of the question. You can add an EXE as a reference, just as you can a DLL. But unless you're actually using the contents of the EXE directly in your own code (e.g. using a class found in there, reading a resource, etc.) what would the point be? Pete |
