I have an application which build in vb.net.I never learn VB.I have worked on C#.net.when I run it's setup and execute it,I able to see command prompt.But when I using this application for scheduling task/creating task and scheduling, unable to see command prompt.

I am using following code that create process.

VB

Dim Cw As New ProcessStartInfo(name, name & " " & name)
Cw.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
Process.Start(Cw)

What's wrong in using the Process class?

Let me try to understand...
If you run the application directly - you can see the command prompt,
but if you run it via scheduler you do not?

yes Peter

Maybe when you run via the scheduler you are running under an identity has no privileges using the screen (like most services)?

Have you tried with Process.Start Method (String, String)[^]?
