Dim myProcess As Process = Process.Start(exe file or other file)Now if you want more control and define what type of window is to display, auguments that you want to pass to the exe, you can use the next code.
Dim processInfo As ProcessStartInfo processInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("my.exe") processInfo.Arguments = "anyarg" processInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal Dim myProcess As Process= Process.Start(processInfo) myProcess.WaitForExit(5000) ' this will wait 5 secs for the process to exit, then you can check if the myProcess.HasExit to see if the process had finish or if 5 secs has elapsed and the process is still running.>>Nevermind, thanks...
