Waiting for program completion in Visual Basic 2008
f0dder:
Just a note, but I think that you should make sure that you spin that code off into another thread and poll it for completion.
Otherwise you may end up with some nastiness.

DON'T POLL!
If he's doing a GUI and doesn't want to lock that up, sure, put program launch in a work thread. But don't frigging poll, have the worker-thread post a "I'm done" message to the GUI thread. Polling is evil and lame, except for a very small set of problems.
