ResGen.exe stucks when redirect output

Question

I try to redirect standard output from ResGen.exe. I use following code

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo( \"resxGen.exe\" );
psi.CreateNoWindow =

The bottom line would seem to be that the placement of p.WaitForExitis incorrect; this method call should be made only after reading what you want from the stream.

From MSDN:

 // Start the child process.
 Process p = new Process();
 // Redirect the output stream of the child process.
 p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
 p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
 p.StartInfo.FileName = "Write500Lines.exe";
 p.Start();
 // Do not wait for the child process to exit before
 // reading to the end of its redirected stream.
 // p.WaitForExit();
 // Read the output stream first and then wait.
 string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
 p.WaitForExit();

Also note that your use of StreamReader sr = p.StandardOutput is redundant here since when the value ofmessage is set you access the stream using p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); - note the p.StandardOutput as opposed to sr.ReadToEnd().
