Capturing console output from a .NET application (C#)

Question

How do I invoke a console application from my .NET application and capture all the output generated in the console?

(Remember, I don\'t want to save the information

Answer 1

Added process.StartInfo.**CreateNoWindow** = true; and timeout.

private static void CaptureConsoleAppOutput(string exeName, string arguments, int timeoutMilliseconds, out int exitCode, out string output)
{
    using (Process process = new Process())
    {
        process.StartInfo.FileName = exeName;
        process.StartInfo.Arguments = arguments;
        process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
        process.Start();

        output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

        bool exited = process.WaitForExit(timeoutMilliseconds);
        if (exited)
        {
            exitCode = process.ExitCode;
        }
        else
        {
            exitCode = -1;
        }
    }
}
