Hey guys, I am successfully calling/executing an .exe file through the commandline but do not know how to grab the output it generates so that I can display in my GUI. Currently it does not display any of the output it needs to be. Thanks for any help! - Chris Here's my code: ------------------


        public void StartMessageServer(string queueManager)
        {
            StringBuilder strCommand = new StringBuilder();

            strCommand.Append(queueManager);

            try
            {
                Process cmd = new Process();
                cmd.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\bin\strmqm.exe";
                cmd.StartInfo.Arguments = strCommand.ToString();
                cmd.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
                cmd.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

                cmd.Start();
                PublisherUtils.WriteText(cmd.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(), this.OutputListBox);
               
                cmd.WaitForExit(5000);
                cmd.Close();
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                PublisherUtils.WriteText(ex.Message, this.OutputListBox);
            }
        }
