I appreciate all the help, I am in fact writing out a set of Xml files at
this time as my work process and at the end of the process i am infact
invoking a third application that in turns (indirectly) signals to my caller
as a signal of my work completion. However this app is being used almost by
all the other apps and i have been told to return a signal to the caller that
i have finished my work in addition to the files written out, since they
don't always want to go and read the files as such.
But I think there has got to be a way for the. static void main(string[]
args) to return some signal values to their callers, this simply defies all
logic that this is not prossible in this scenario...
would look forward to any more suggestions. . .
Thanks for the Help,
With Regards
Sunny
