Hi Nicholas great to see you finally after a long time.
Thanks for the info, infact i am writing out an xml file as my work process
and at the end my app is invoking a third application that signals to my
caller as a signal of my work completion, but this app is being used by a lot
of apps in my dept and there is a req now that it must return a signal value
so that the caller does not always have to go and check something else to
find out if i have finished.
I was thinking there would be a better way to return a status signal to the
callers even in a static void main implementations
public static void main(string[] args)
{
//All the work
myInternalClass mc = new myInternalClass(args);
//Now finished and return something
}
Thanks for all the help, and welcome for more suggestions. ..
With Regards
Sunny
