Process WaitForExit()

Question

I use the below statements in my application:

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = 'FileName';
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit(900000); // 15 minutes

How does it work? After 15 minutes, if the 'FileName' is still running/executing, will process.WaitForExit(900000); kill the process? Else the execution goes to the next statement without killing the 'FileName', i.e. 'FileName' continue to run till it's execution completed?

Answer 1

Yes, if a time-limited WaitForExit returns due to the limit being elapsed the process continues to run.

Answer 2

You could try

Process.CloseMainWindow();

this will close the main window of your application and therefore end it smoothly.
