    <p>The VB.Net team has done much more to ease things for the developer regarding instrumentation of windows, and I see no problem adding a reference to a VB dll and use that in your C# program.</p> <p>It's two teams with different focus, that's all. And you shouldn't feel bad about using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.Shell if it solves your issue.</p> <p>You can also use Reflector to see the actual implementation and implement the code yourself if you don't want to reference the dll.</p> <p><em>[Edit - added code example after comment to show you can combine Interaction.Shell and Process]</em></p> <pre><code>int pid = Interaction.Shell("notepad.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus); Process p = Process.GetProcessById(pid); p.Exited += ((o, e) =&gt; Console.WriteLine("Exit")); p.EnableRaisingEvents = true; Console.ReadLine(); </code></pre> <p>Here I use the Shell method to kick off the process, get a handle to the process from the pid, and hook on events. You can even do p.Kill() in order to abort the process.</p> <p><em>[Edit - workaround for cmd.exe]</em></p> <p>It's starting to become a bit hackish to my taste, but it works. Replace "NEWWINDOW" with a random guid or something to make it unique.</p> <pre><code>Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.Shell(@"cmd.exe /c ""start cmd.exe /k title NEWWINDOW""", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus); foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName("cmd")) { if (process.MainWindowTitle.EndsWith("NEWWINDOW")) { process.Exited += ((o, e) =&gt; Console.WriteLine("Exit")); process.EnableRaisingEvents = true; } } </code></pre>

    1. COI don't have a problem with using the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. My problem is with the lack of other functionality in that method (the lack of a Exited event and the ability to abort a process). I did look at the debugging source that Microsoft provides for both methods... that's how I learned about the underlying calls and the flags passed to make this work. It's also how I figured that trying to handle some of the functionality I want by myself would be very painful, as it seems there are complex locking issues, and I can't just copy the code since it would violate the license.

    3. COThat worked, but there's a complication... it looks like calling Interaction.Shell() from a console application, to run a console application, reuses the same console window rather than launching a new one like Console.Start does. Any idea if it's possible to avoid that?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
