System.Diagnosis.process

[Sonia Gupta]

I was running an exe . Now my question is , Can i programatically check whether the exe has been executed completely. Does the framework class System.Diagnosis.process has anything to do with the remedy of this problem?

[Vivek Narayanan]

well,you could enclose it in a try ..... catch and get the message of the exception and find out,if there is no exception message,then the file would have been executed 'completely'

[Sonia Gupta]

is there ant alternative way out ? once the program enters into the catch block.it takes time to complete the execution.thus increases the access time.

[Vivek Narayanan]

if you use a generic exception such as "Exception" it will take a lot of time,to reduce that time you have to choose a more specific exception.The more generic your exception,the more longer the processing time.So its a compromise between Accuracy and Speed.

i actually do not know how to check whether the particular exe has been executed completely.

What do you mean by "execute completely"?? Are you asking if the child process terminates? Are you looking for an exit code? A file waiting to be written?? What?
