Running a process in a thread?Is there a possibility to run an external process (exe) in on of my C#
Apps Thread? I would need that because I don't want them to run anymore when my programm crashes. Also I don't want to have the processes visible in the task manager. Hi,
if you create a new process it will be, well , a new process :) what you can do is terminate the process ( Process.Kill ) when your program ends, for this you need to hook AppDomain.DomainUnload -- Show quoteHide quoteIgnacio Machin, ignacio.machin AT dot.state.fl.us Florida Department Of Transportation "Tyron" <tyron.madle***@kath-kirche-vorarlberg.at> wrote in message news:1146054378.691597.209460@t31g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > Is there a possibility to run an external process (exe) in on of my C# > Apps Thread? > I would need that because I don't want them to run anymore when my > programm crashes.

If it's a separate process, it would be visible in task manager.Now, if it's another .NET app you could load it in a different AppDomain and call the Main method appropriately. Heck, you could probably do that with non-.NET executables with a lot of work. I wouldn't expect it to be particularly reliable though.

is started by your app, and the process must either stop by itself or be stopped by an external force. A separte thread is only a child thread of your main thread. What you need to do is ensure that if your app "crashes" it stops the process before exiting. -- Show quoteHide quoteHTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP Professional Numbskull Hard work is a medication for which there is no placebo.

I think you are not clear how processes and threads are related to each other. The process has threads. You cannot run a process IN a thread. You can create a thread that starts a process, but this process will be different entity and will have its own threads. If the program you want to run is a managed .NET program you can run it in a new application domain in the same Windows process. -- Show quoteHide quoteStoitcho Goutsev (100) "Tyron" <tyron.madle***@kath-kirche-vorarlberg.at> wrote in message news:1146054378.691597.209460@t31g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > Is there a possibility to run an external process (exe) in on of my C# > Apps Thread? > I would need that because I don't want them to run anymore when my > programm crashes.

The process I want to run is not a .net assembly but rather a linux tool ported to windows called wget (I guess most of you know it). I guess, since wget is open source, I maybe could recode some parts of it so that I can compile it as a dll and do some PInvoke. On this way it should be possible to run a "wget-process" in a thread.

I've written a GUI for it (MyWebGet, http://www.tyron.at/tm/dev.php in case you're interested) and I am curious if I can embedd wget even better into the GUI Hi,
Of course we know wget :) You need not to modify it, you can run it as a non-visible program (it will shows n the windows task manager though) it will not appear in the task toolbar nor using ALT+TAB . You could even get the outout of the console and show it in your win app. -- Show quoteHide quoteIgnacio Machin, ignacio.machin AT dot.state.fl.us Florida Department Of Transportation "Tyron" <tyron.madle***@kath-kirche-vorarlberg.at> wrote in message news:1146063270.196079.324530@e56g2000cwe.googlegroups.com... > Thanks a lot for all your answers. > > The process I want to run is not a .net assembly but rather a linux > tool ported to windows called wget (I guess most of you know it). > I guess, since wget is open source, I maybe could recode some parts of > it so that I can compile it as a dll and do some PInvoke.

wget would run in a single thread instead of a seperate process. Thanks tough for answering.
