How to wait until my batch file is finished
I'm doing a program where I need to start cmd and there start up a batch file. The problem is that I'm using MyProcess.WaithForexit(); and I think it does not wait until the batch file processing is finished. It just waits until the cmd is closed. My code so far:
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo ProcStartInfo =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd");
ProcStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
ProcStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
ProcStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
ProcStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
System.Diagnostics.Process MyProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
ProcStartInfo.Arguments = "/c start batch.bat ";
MyProcess.StartInfo = ProcStartInfo;
MyProcess.Start();
MyProcess.WaitForExit();
I need to wait until the batch file is finished. How do I do that?

The start command has arguments that can make it WAIT for the started program to complete. Edit the arguments as show below to pass '/wait':
ProcStartInfo.Arguments = "/c start /wait batch.bat ";
I would also suggest that you want your batch file to exit the cmd envirionment so place an 'exit' at the end of the batch.
@echo off
rem Do processing
exit
This should achieve the desired behavior.

This actually worked just fine for me:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("myBatFile.bat").WaitForExit();
As milton said, adding 'exit' at the end of your batch files is most likely a good idea.
