I have an .exe
file that needs to be run after I create a file. The file is successfully created and I am using the following code to run the .exe
file
private void Print(string pdfFileName)
{
string processFilename = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine
.OpenSubKey("Software")
.OpenSubKey("Microsoft")
.OpenSubKey("Windows")
.OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion")
.OpenSubKey("App Paths")
.OpenSubKey("AcroRd32.exe")
.GetValue(string.Empty).ToString();
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
info.Verb = "print";
info.FileName = processFilename;
info.Arguments = string.Format("/p /h {0}", pdfFileName);
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
////(It won't be hidden anyway... thanks Adobe!)
info.UseShellExecute = false;
Process p = Process.Start(info);
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
int counter = 0;
while (!p.HasExited)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
counter += 1;
if (counter == 5)
{
break;
}
}
if (!p.HasExited)
{
p.CloseMainWindow();
p.Kill();
}
}
