Capturing an c# executable output from another C# program
.net, c#, console-application, outputstream
Solution
You can use ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput Property
Process compiler = new Process();
compiler.StartInfo.FileName = "csc.exe";
compiler.StartInfo.Arguments = "/r:System.dll /out:sample.exe stdstr.cs";
compiler.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
compiler.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
compiler.Start();
Console.WriteLine(compiler.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
compiler.WaitForExit();

Problem
I am executing a C# program i.e a .exe from another C# program. but the .exe has some Console.WriteLine() in its program. I want to get the standard output into my C# program. for example, Consider a C# executable i.e 1.exe and there is another Program 2.cs. I am calling from 2.cs 1.exe. Now there is some output that the console is displaying from 1. exe. But I want the ouput in my program 2.cs. for displaying information to user. Is it possible? Please help Thanks Sai sindhu
