Hello everyone,

I have the following issue :
==> I have 2 WPF Projects ;
==> the first project need to run first and gather some information and after it has completed his task, the second project must run and based on information from the first project need to do some specific tasks;
==> the first project must keep running, since the second project works based on new calculations he performs (the first project must somehow run in background but without its UI);

My question is : how to start and run those 2 projects in parallel ?

Thanks in advance,
Tamash

Solution 1

Use the .Net Process[^] class to invoke the second app from the first.

If thats not an option, try the Windows Scheduler ...

+5 since the OP marked the answer as correct, but didn't feel like voting. :)

Well, correct answer, of course, my 5.

If this is helping someone is a question. Sometimes a formally correct multiply the evil instead of helping... Don't you feel the whole idea of having two peer processes (not threads, not a service + application) related in this way is inherently too bad, based on huge misconseption?

Tamash, for your own sake, don't do it. Explain your real purpose and goals, you might get a better help.
