How to return value from exe and capture the returned value using C#

Question

I have an exe (I have the C# code for that also). I am invoking the exe in my vb script application. Now I want to return a value from the exe and capture the same in my vb code. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("csharpprocess.exe")

Do While oExec.Status = 0
     WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

WScript.Echo oExec.ExitCode

Answer 2

To return a number from the EXE file, set this value in your C# code before you exit it.

Environment.ExitCode = MyNumber;
