Hi,

My current situation now, is that I have two Projects under one Solution. E.g.

Solution 'Project' (2 Projects)
|
+- Project 1 (Windows Form)
|
+- Project 2 (Console App)


Project 1 is of course, the main GUI.

I would like to know, what criteria must I satisfy before I can insert the following code in a button in Project 1

Project2 p2 = new Project2();
p2.ShowDialog();
this.Hide();

Is it even possible?

What I've done: I have made a reference to Project 2 in Project 1.


Thanks,
Ben

Are you receiving any errors or you don't even see the Project 2 in your Project 1 class? Can you post some code of Project 2 to see the implementation.

I am not receiving any errors, I am just unable to.. Call Project 2 at all in Project 1.

I have attached code from Project 2 for your viewing!


Thanks,

Well, if you correctly referenced the project and you added a correct namespace declaration in the first project, all you have to do is add the public part to the Program class in the second project, so that it can be accessed externally.

Thanks Core!

Another problem I'm facing -

I am able to reference Project2.Program now, but I am unable to.. "Start" Project2.

Is there any quick way to.. Start the Console program?


One alternative I found was to import the dll Kernel32.dll, but that's a very roundabout way.

This really depends on what you are trying to do. If you successfully referenced your Poject2 and are able to access its members (methods, properties etc...), then just call whatever method you want to execute it.

The second possibility - although this is just my guess on what you are trying to do - is that you want to run your Console app from Project1 just like you would launch it from Command Prompt. To do this, you can use the following:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(whatever parameters go here);

Check out MSDN help form Process class, because it has really a lot of things that can be set.

If you'll still have problems, contact forum members for help :-)
