Hi Guys,,,

I'm working with an existing MFC application. I need to run a VB .NET application via this MFC application and wait till its closes....

I went thru several websites which suggested that I use ProcessStartInfo and run the VB.NET and wait for that...

when I insert
#using <system.dll> I'm getting CLR error
"fatal error C1190: managed targeted code requires a '/clr' option"

I'm not familiar with whats going on or how they developed the MFC application .All I know is that I ended up with lot of classes and I need to do minor changes...

Is anyone outthere who could help me out with this? Is there any other way of running the VB .NET application via this MFC application?

Thanks in advance,,
Jana

Here is the code which does the trick which was copied from the above link....

#############################

STARTUPINFO si = {0};
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = {0};
ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );

TCHAR szCommandLine[] = _T("\"C:\\Windows\\system32\\calc.exe\"");
if( !CreateProcess( NULL, szCommandLine, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi ) )
{
_tprintf( _T("CreateProcess failed - %d\n"), GetLastError() );
return;
}

WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );
CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
