System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo

Posted 30 June 2010 - 06:51 PM

My code below has some issues in visual studio, this project is build under C# -> Windows Ce 5.0 -> smart device -> Device application. The problem i'm experiencing is that those RED colored words are giving me error like: "'System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo' does not contain a definition for 'RedirectStandardOutput' and no extension method 'RedirectStandardOutput' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" and therefore, cannot be compiled. Can you guys help me? Thank You!

I suspect that the CE version of .NET doesn't have those features, as you probably don't have a console window in CE.

I'm guessing you mean "can you call a C/C++ DLL from C#?" If so, yes there is. It's called P/Invoke and you can read about it on MSDN or pinvoke.net

Actually i'm trying to use the dll to call a method in the c program to return a value for my c# program.

The flow is like this, c# program calls DLL, DLL calls method in c to return a value for my c# program. Is it even possible?

Not really. If you give the C method you are trying to call, we can probably figure out the P/Invoke syntax you'll need to call it. I do have to ask why you need to call a DLL to call a DLL though, why not just call the 2nd DLL directly?
