I was under the impression that Process.Start() would more or less function the same as double clicking a .exe with the caveat that you can't pass cmdline parameters via double click.
So when I told my console application to start other console projects in the same solution I expected to see multiple console windows. Instead all of their text got combined into 1 window and 1 process.
This is problematic for many reasons. Separate processes have separate memory and do separate things.
Here is my code:
Console.WriteLine("Starting Chat server");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ChatServer.exe");
Console.WriteLine("Starting Map server");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("MapServer.exe");
Console.WriteLine("Starting Mission server");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("MissionServer.exe");
Console.WriteLine("Starting Queue server");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("QueueServer.exe");
while(true)
{
}
And here is the result:
However, if I go into the /bin/debug folder I can double click each .exe separately
and get the expected result.
So shouldn't there be a way to do this in C#? I'd rather not have to switch to batch or powershell just to start a bunch of console apps. Is there some code I can write to effectively do what double clicking each .exe file separately would do?
