How should I receive output from Console application in WinForms on .Net Framework 3.5?

Question

I have a console application which I run through a WinForms application, which waits for the application to finish. How can I retrieve the output of the console application in my GUI, and what is the best way to wait for the console application to finish?

Any help in this question? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4291912/process-start-how-to-get-the-output — Shoban, Feb 01 '12 at 05:29
Are they both .NET assemblies? If so, it would likely be easier for one application to call public methods of the other application than to implement interprocess communication. — Cody Gray - on strike, Feb 01 '12 at 05:40

It is possible with "Process" class. Please refer to the ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput Property example available in the below link.

Hope this helps.

Look up Inter-Process Communication

Since you're using .Net. See WCF Named-Pipes for example.
