Working on a project. In the code, we need to run powershell script and then get its output. In order to do this, I use the Process():
private int RunProcess(string FileName, string Arguments, out string result)
{
int exitCode = -1;
result = string.Empty;
// Start the child process.
Process p = new Process();
// Redirect the output stream of the child process.
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.FileName = FileName;
p.StartInfo.Arguments = Arguments;
p.Start();
// Do not wait for the child process to exit before
// reading to the end of its redirected stream.
// Read the output stream first and then wait.
result = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
// Wait at most 10 minutes
p.WaitForExit(10 * 60 * 1000);
exitCode = p.ExitCode;
return exitCode;
}
and call it like this:
RunProcess("Powershell.exe", arguments, out sPSResult);
This works fine on most computers. However, on some, for some unknow reason, the RunProcess() never return, even we use p.WaitForExit(10 * 60 * 1000) .
Anyone knows why? or see this before? Is it because somewhere is blocked in the windows even WaitForExit is used?
Thanks
