Hi
I want to execute these dos commands:

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("batchisp");
info.Arguments = "-device at90usb1287 ... -operation addrange 00 read";
Process.Start(info);

Now my question is so simple. I want the return value of any command execution. For example the read operation's return value to decide sth according to it or the verify operation's return value to see if it was successfull. Please write your answer including c# code. Thanks!

Which will immediately throw an exception: "Invalid Operation Exception" because Notepad has not exited. Read up on the link I gave in my answer for details on how to handle this properly!
