    <p>I am having some trouble using the redirected input/output of a process. Originally, I had two applications communicating over tcp/ip. The server tells the client to open up cmd.exe and then gives commands to the client that the client has to redirect to the cmd.exe process. Then the client reads the output and sends it back to the server. Basically I was creating a way to use the command line remotely.</p> <p>The problem is it that it works for the first command and then nothing afterwards. I was able to recreate the problem without using tcp/ip.</p> <pre><code>Process p = new Process(); ProcessStartInfo psI = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd"); psI.UseShellExecute = false; psI.RedirectStandardInput = true; psI.RedirectStandardOutput = true; psI.CreateNoWindow = true; p.StartInfo = psI; p.Start(); p.StandardInput.AutoFlush = true; p.StandardInput.WriteLine("dir"); char[] buffer = new char[10000]; int read = 0; // Wait for process to write to output stream Thread.Sleep(500); while (p.StandardOutput.Peek() &gt; 0) { read += p.StandardOutput.Read(buffer, read, 10000); } Console.WriteLine(new string(buffer).Remove(read)); Console.WriteLine("--- Second Output ---"); p.StandardInput.WriteLine("dir"); buffer = new char[10000]; read = 0; Thread.Sleep(500); while (p.StandardOutput.Peek() &gt; 0) { read += p.StandardOutput.Read(buffer, read, 10000); } Console.WriteLine(new string(buffer).Remove(read)); Console.ReadLine(); </code></pre> <p>This is obviously ugly test code, but I get the same results. I can read the output the first time and then it comes empty the second time around. I am guessing when I use the output stream the first time around I am locking it and preventing cmd.exe to use that stream again? If that is true what is the correct way of using the output stream multiple times after each input command. I would like to do this synchronously to maintain the feeling of the command line. If the only solution is to read the output stream asynchronously is there a way I could figure out generically when the process finished executing my input? I dont want the server to tell the client to execute another command before the first one finishes.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    2. COI forget who wrote them, but there's also the command line to socket adapter programs called, I think, faucet and hose. They're written in C and part of a package called netpipes, which can be found here: http://www.purplefrog.com/~thoth/netpipes/netpipes.html

    3. CO`p.StandardOutput.Peek()` returns the next char, not the number of characters to read. Your last argument to `StandardOutput.Read` should be a constant or `10000 - read`.

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.
