System.Diagnostic help

[babai28]

Hi,
I am trying to run the html help compiler "hhc.exe" from my C# application. I am providing a .hhc,.hhk and .hhp file to create .chm file. On running the code the .chm file is being created, however a command prompt like (black) window is also appearing displaying the compilation status.
I want to suppress the window and to display the status (that it shows) in a control of my application. I guess, I am overlooking some property of the process class.
Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,
Sid

Use

p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.Start();
String output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

You can then set the output to your controls.

Thank you very much my Friend. This looks very fine. The point is I am running the process code in a different thread altogether and the lines of the compilation status which will be achieved by:

string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

will read all the output text of the process and diplay it in the control at one go.
The requirement is updating the control on continuous basis as the compilation proceeds.

You need to start another thread for reading the output then (perhaps another for reading the error stream as well.)
Details are explained in this article.

Thanx a lot brother!
The purpose is solved!
