.NET assembly not creating as backgrouond process using System.Process

Question

Hello,

I am trying to launch background processes using System.Diagnostic.Process API . It launches every process e.g notepad.exe, all native processes and all windows form base processes. But this unable to launch pure managed GUI less assemblies. Task Manager not showing those assemblies listed in its list as seperate process. Niether exception occure nor any error code returned.

Is there any other way to launch background processes on demand using Process.Start for pure managed assemblies properly visible even for task manager

Regards Usman

Answer 1

If you are working with a managed assembly, you should check out the BackgroundWorker class

Answer 2

Use Task Manager's Processes tab, not the Applications tab. The latter one only lists processes that have a window. Also consider that the process simply exited quickly after starting it.
